No fewer than four staff of Areago Community High School, Ogbomoso in Oyo State, have been arrested as a result of a clash between students of the school and residents around the community.
DAILY POST gathered that conflict broke out between the students of the secondary school and residents of its neighbourhood.
Our correspondent learnt that four staff of the school among whom are a Vice Principal (Administration), Mr. Ajayi; two senior teachers, Mr. Oladeji and Mr. Adekunle; and a day guard in the school have been arrested.
It was learnt that those arrested were being detained at Owode Divisional Police Station, Ogbomoso.
Our correspondent gathered that trouble started on Thursday following an altercation between some students of the school and some women residents in the neighbourhood who attempted to pass through the school premises on commercial motorcycle.
The residents were prevented by the students because the parent-teacher association (PTA) of the school had embarked on erection of perimeter fence.
A teacher in the school who spoke on the condition of anonymity said that construction of the fence became imperative because the school has become porous.
He added that a lot of untoward things are daily recorded in the school as a result of porosity of the school.
Our correspondent reliably gathered that the four staff would be released on bail
DAILY POST gathered on Saturday that the concerned stakeholders are making efforts to settle the matter amicably.
