We are astonished about the clash.” One Teacher spoke to Myjoyonline.com on condition of anonymity.
“So currently, the school has been closed down temporarily, and so students will stay at their homes until the next term, and unfortunately, this term’s examinations cannot be organised until their return.

The date for the students to return to school is currently unknown.
