Samuel Archibong, a student of Community Secondary School,
Aka Offot in Akwa Ibom, has allegedly stabbed James Elijah, his colleague, to
death.
According to NAN, Odiko Macdon, the state police command’s
spokesperson, confirmed Elijah’s death in a statement on Saturday.
Macdon said the incident occurred on March 10. He also
assured that those responsible for Elijah’s demise would be brought to book.
He disclosed that Andrew Amiengheme, the state commissioner
of police, has directed the deployment of a special surveillance unit to
schools to check the excesses of students.
He warned students to be of good conduct during and after
school hours as the command would not tolerate any act of hooliganism.
“This is not the first time we have witnessed an act of this
nature and is totally unacceptable. The commissioner of police, Andrew
Amiengheme, is miffed and has condemned the barbaric act,” the statement reads.
“He has called on parents to enshrine germane family values
while school authorities are to quickly and discreetly report suspected
students with traits of cultism and misdemeanor.”
Macdon added that the command would send patrol teams to
some secondary schools after closing hours to ensure that students went home
safely henceforth.
The development comes as Idongesit Etiebet, the commissioner
for education, ordered the closure of the school.
Etiebet said the directive was to enable the state secondary
education board and the ministry of education to wade into the matter and
restore calm.
