Private schools owners in Ebonyi State, on Wednesday, protested the closure of their schools by suspected agents of the state government.


The protesters, numbering more than 60, alleged that the closure was a political witch-hunt orchestrated by some opposition elements in Governor Dave Umahi’s government.
The state government had shutdown three schools belonging to a former Commissioner for Education, Chibueze Agbo, and other schools, alleging tax evasion.
According to the state government, the schools were sealed following the failure of the schools’ management to pay certain stipulated amount into the coffers of the state government.
The schools sealed were Mandate International School Izhia, Royal Comprehensive College, Ezzangbo and Royal Demonstration Nursery and Primary School Ezzangbo all in Ohaukwu Local Government Area of the state.
This was even as the state’s Commissioner for Education, Prof. John Eke, while briefing newsmen disclosed that more schools would be shutdown in the coming days.
