St. Mary’s School Counters Niger Govt's Claims, Denies Prior Security Warning

St. Mary’s School, under the Catholic Diocese of Kontagora, refutes the Niger State Government's assertion of being forewarned about security threats before the recent abduction incident.

The school's media aide, Daniel Atori, clarified that no prior security alert was received, contradicting the government's claims. Bishop Bulu Dauwa Yohanna of the Christian Association of Nigeria emphasized that the school strictly follows safety guidelines and did not ignore any directives.

The school's response comes amidst allegations that it reopened without clearance, exposing students and staff to risks. The controversy underscores the importance of effective communication and security measures in educational institutions.
