Yobe State Governor, Mr. Ibrahim Gaidam has ordered indefinite closure of all secondary schools in the state to forestall further attack on secondary schools by Boko Haram terrorist group, operating in the Northern part of Nigeria.
The governor gave the order after visiting Government Secondary School Mamudo where the suspected terrorist group, Boko Haram unleashed mayhem killing several students and a teacher.
The governor also called on the Chief of Defence Staff and members of the security agencies deployed to the area to consider restoration of Global System for Mobile (GSM) services to the area adding that indigenes of the state are finding it difficult to report suspected terrorists to the authority adding that many are now willing to volunteer information to the security forces.
“In the two separate attacks on schools in the state, it was reported that residents saw the hoodlums at the suburbs of Damaturu, the state capital but JTF could not be reached because of the absence of GSM services”, the governor said.
