The Kaduna State Government has issued an order directing the closure of schools situated in areas identified as prone to bandit attacks.
The development comes after bandits on Monday attacked Bethel Baptist school in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, abducting a yet to be ascertained number of students.
According to the directive issued by the Director-General of Quality Assurance Authority in the state Ministry of Education, Umma Ahmed, to proprietors of private schools, the closure takes effect immediately.
Ahmed said, “You are hereby advised to adhere to the contents of this letter as appropriate sanctions shall be meted out to schools that are found wanting for non-compliance, please.”
Among the schools closed are, Faith Academy, along Kachia Road adjacent to Jakaranda; Deeper Life Academy, Maraban Rido; Ecwa Secondary School, Ungwar Maje and Bethel Baptist High School, Damishi.
Others are St. Peters Minor Seminary, Katari; Prelude Secondary School, Kujama; Ibiso Secondary school, Tashar Iche; Tulip International (Boys) School and Tulip International (Girls) School.
Also on the list are Goodnews Secondary School, St. Augustine, Kujama; Comprehensive Development Institution (CDI), Tudun Mare and Adventist College, Kujama.
Faith Academy is owned by Living Faith Church Worldwide, founded by Bishop David Oyedepo.
The school is close to a boarding school where scores of students were abducted in the Chikun local government area of Kaduna State.
