The ongoing crisis at the Baptist High School, Iwo, yesterday took a dramatic dimension when some students of the school mobilized some masquerades to the crisis-ridden school.
It was gathered that some angry students stormed the school premises clad in masquerade attires and thus paralyzed academic activities in the institution for several hours.
Findings revealed that the masquerades were mobilized to the school by some students who collaborated with some traditionalists in the town as various religious organizations have taken interest in the crisis rocking the school.
DailyPost reports that students of the school on Tuesday caused confusion in the school as they appeared in different clothes that correlate with their religious beliefs.
While the Christian students who wore white garments sown into choir gowns sang Christian songs, the Muslim students who appeared in veil on the other hand sang Islamic songs.
The state government last year introduced same uniform for all the secondary school students in the state and also legalised the use of veil (hijab) in public schools.
However, the school authorities have suspended 24 of the students indefinitely for alleged immoral, cult activities and disruption of academic programme in the school.
The suspension of the affected students followed an investigation conducted by the institution’s authority where it was discovered that the students actually belong to secret cult groups.
