HELL was let loose in Saki West Local Government Area of Oyo State ,on Wednesday, as persons from a neighbouring community, allegedly led a team of able-bodied men to completely raze a primary school being built on a disputed area.

Nigerian Tribune gathered that the team were said to have got to the school around 4.00 p.m. when the pupils had left for their various homes and burnt the school and evacuated the items of furniture.

It will be recalled that there was a clash between Saki and Ogboro communities during the administration of Senator Rashidi Ladoja when it was resolved that status quo be maintained on the disputed farmland.

The Okere of Saki, Oba (Alhaji) KelaniOlatoyeseOlarinre II, who spoke with the Nigerian Tribune in a telephone interview, confirmed the incident, adding that those living around the school and the teachers were threatened in the dead of the night.

“Not only did they raze the school, they also took all the furniture in the school.

“The headmaster of the school came and made a report of the incident to me and he also informed me that he had reported to the police. The chairmen of Saki East and West councils and the police have visited the burnt school and they are also doing their investigation.

Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) for the state Command, DSP AyodeleLanade, who confirmed the incident, said the two caretaker chairmen of the councils met on Thursday and resolved that status quo be maintained pending when the issue would be resolved.

Lanade added that the immediate past administration in the state had raised a committee on the matter, adding that the recommendation of the committee had not being effected

seedord247: Hunters in 21st century?

What are they huntin

Bush rat is still a delicacy in some parts of naija.

When i saw the post,i thought the hunters mistakenly burnt down the school while setting fire to some bush around it to smoke out some bush rats from their underground mansions.

I think the community should be glad the hunters decided to commit arson instead of using their guns.

This is Boko Haram and it doesn't necessarily has to be in Borno State.
