Panic in Delta Community as Students Flee Girls’ School Over Suspicious Intruders

Reported by: Ijeoma G | Edited by: Henry Owen

Fear swept through Kwale, Delta State, on Monday as students of a girls’ school reportedly fled in panic after spotting suspicious Fulani men loitering and patrolling around the school premises. The unsettling sighting immediately triggered chaos, with many students running for safety amid growing concerns over rising insecurity targeting educational institutions.

Witnesses said the men appeared to be surveying the surroundings, prompting fears of a possible attack or abduction. The incident has reignited anxiety among residents and parents, who say school communities remain dangerously exposed despite repeated calls for stronger protective measures.

The scare comes at a time when Nigeria continues to grapple with frequent attacks on schools, particularly those attended by girls, leaving many communities on edge. Stakeholders are urging authorities to move swiftly to reassure the public, investigate the incident, and tighten security around schools to prevent a tragedy similar to those seen in other states.

The real issue, according to security watchers, is the persistent vulnerability of schools and the slow pace of robust safety interventions. Parents in Kwale are now demanding immediate action from both state and local security agencies to guarantee the safety of their children and restore calm to the community.
