Obi Primary School located in Uzebba Ihuleha community in the Owan West Local Government Area of Edo State like many schools resumed for academic activities after the first-term holiday which ushered

in Christmas and New Year holidays.

He said, “There was no pupil in the school that day being the first day of resumption. Usually, it used to take one to two weeks before pupils start coming because of the distance of the school to the communities. One of the three teachers sitting outside my office was Mrs Esther Alabi. She was kidnapped by the gunmen.

She was released on the third day after a payment of N1.7m ransom and purchase of items like cigarettes, malts and soft drinks, among other things. “Their cows grazed on the farms owned by us. They harvested yams and cooked them inside one of the classrooms. That was when we started nursing fears that they could attack us anytime. After closing, we would meet them there the following day. They usually occupied two classes.”

Asenhame said he became apprehensive at that point and immediately stopped a motorcycle to take him to the school. He told our correspondent that there was no word from them after the first call until the following day.
