“On Thursday, last week, pupils of Government Technical College, Orita Aperin went on the rampage as they invaded the premises of the CAC Grammar School, Orita-Aperin.

“During the attacks, several vehicles were destroyed while the science laboratory blocks with equipment worth several millions of naira were vandalised.

“Also, some people received matchet cuts during the attacks. This, we found quite unacceptable. This situation was brought under control with the support of the local security and the authorities of the affected schools.

“I interviewed these children on Saturday and the revelation was stunning. I was surprised at the level of decadence in the public schools in the state.”
