The decision, announced on Friday, June 27, 2025, comes amid a disturbing escalation in tribal violence in the area — violence that has now begun to directly impact students and school staff.
Just a day before the fatal shooting, two female students sustained gunshot wounds while on their way to school, raising alarm and deep concern among parents and education officials alike.
According to reports, the student’s death was the result of a stray bullet, but the incident has sent shockwaves throughout the school community. The situation prompted immediate intervention by both education authorities and national security agencies.
In an official memo confirming the school’s closure, the Acting Regional Director of Education cited the deteriorating security environment and emphasized the urgent need to “safeguard the lives of students and staff.”
Authorities have yet to confirm when the school will reopen, with ongoing security assessments determining the next steps.
