The Nation also learnt that the school, which was closed by the state government, was being renovated in preparation for reopening.

A post by one Harrison Gwamnishu, a human rights activist, on his Facebook page, said the suspects had been released on bail.

But police spokesman Edafe Bright debunked the claim.

“That case was charged to court. So what release are you talking about?” he queried.
