Several students have reportedly been injured following a clash between students of two secondary schools in Ilorin, the Kwara state capital.

The fracas, which occurred on Monday, reportedly left more than 10 students injured in the process.

According to a witness, the fight started around 11 am when some students of Government High School clashed with Government Day Secondary School, both in Adeta area over a previous disagreement.

The witness said: “More than ten students were wounded in the melee that threw the area into pandemonium. The issue started about two weeks ago and climaxed with the present situation suspected to be a reprisal attack.”
