Pupils of Community School Ugiri in Isiala Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State have taken to the streets protesting the encroachment of their school premises by herdsmen.
In a viral video on Wednesday, the pupils and teachers were seen chanting solidarity songs, expressing displeasure on the destruction of their crops by the activities of the herdsmen who always trespassed the school farms and classes, destroying and chasing the pupils out of the classrooms.
When contacted, the police spokesperson, Henry Okoye, promised that the police would ensure full investigation into the matter to address the issue so that the school premises are secured from encroachment of any kind while urging the community not to take the law into their own hands.
