Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Another violent clash broke out at C&S College Sabo Oke, in Ilorin, on Monday following attempts by some unidentified persons to forcefully open the gate of the school.<\/p>\n

The students of the college were also chased away and sent back home.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that the state government on Friday ordered the ten mission schools shut down to resume classes to enable intending WASC students prepare for their examinations.<\/p>\n

But the Christian community insisted that the use of hijab will not be allowed in their mission schools while also demanding the return of the schools to their original owners.<\/p>\n

During a visit to the college at about 11.30am, DAILY POST found that the gate of the school was under lock and key, although teachers and staff reported for work.<\/p>\n

The situation, however, turned chaotic and violent when unidentified persons attempted to forcefully open the gate of the school, in the presence of security operatives.<\/p>\n

Appeal for calm by the Chairman, state Teaching Service Commission, TESCOM, Malam Tauheed Bello, who addressed the angry crowd, fell on deaf ears.<\/p>\n

Shortly after his address, another violent clash broke out following gunshots fired from inside Emmanuel Baptist church opposite C&S College Sabo Oke, at about 12.10pm, while the church was also pelted with stones and other objects.<\/p>\n

The violence spread to St Barnabas LGEA primary school and some churches in the area as people armed with cutlasses and broken bottles went on a rampage.<\/p>\n

The Christian community also mobilised its own forces to counter the attack in a bid to protect their people and property.<\/p>\n

The state Police Command\u2019s Spokesman, Mr Okasanmi Ajayi, who was met at the scene, told DAILY POST that the situation was under control.<\/p>\n

He confirmed that aside from the situation at the C&S College, Sabo Oke, normalcy had returned to the other nine mission schools involved in the issue of hijab, in the state capital.<\/p>\n

Armed soldiers were later deployed to the area to restore peace and were still present at 2.26pm when DAILY POST Correspondent left the scene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
