BREAKING: Schools shut down in Imo over alleged threat to attack them by unknown gunmen

Some schools in Owerri metropolis on Monday abruptly ended school sessions and forced their students to return home over the alleged threat to attack them by unknown gunmen.

Some of the school proprietors who could not mention their names for security reasons, said they had to shut down their schools because of a letter that went viral on social media linked to unknown gunmen, warning that there would no longer be movement, and schools will shut down on every Monday of the week in Igboland.

According to them, “There would be an attack on any school that fails to obey such an order.”

At the time of filing this report, some schools along Egbu road, Akwakuma, Amakohia, Owerri-Aba road and Owerri- Onitsha road out of fear closed their schools.

Also, affected were some schools along MCC/Uratta Road, Okigwe road leading to Orji axis as well as World bank areas.
