“The senior colleague, from SS2 class, had sent Jubril on an errand, but he didn’t go,” a source said.

“That fateful night, he came to pick him up and took him to a quiet place where he used a razor blade to severely cut his neck, injuring most of his arteries, nerves and trachea.”

After the unfortunate incident, the senior student who felt no remorse for what he has done left Jubril for dead.

A staff of the school spoke to journalists and stated that this isn’t the first time they would experience such occurrence in the school, but the school management kept concealing the incidents.

“This is not the first case of armed violence in the college,” the teacher lamented

“There are several other cases relating to sexual abuse and armed violence, but the school management had swept it under the carpet. This is likely to mean we are creating more victims as a result of our failure to act.”
