The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) have vowed that no teacher will resume at Areago Community High School, Ogbomoso, until their safety is guaranteed.
NUT Chairman, Ogbomoso North Local Government Area, Mr. Tunde Oladapo made this declaration while speaking on Sunday.
Oladapo was reacting to the recent attack of teachers in the school.
Our correspondent gathered that some residents in the community clashed with students on Thursday.
The vice principal of the school, two teachers and the day guard were arrested on Thursday. They were subsequently released by the policemen from Owode Police Station, Ogbomoso on Friday.
Two women who allegedly caused the problem were arrested and have also been released.
It was also gathered that members of the community, who beat up teachers in the school, were later arrested Friday evening.
NUT Chairman in the local government area, Mr. Tunde Oladapo while speaking on Sunday insisted that no teacher will resume in the school until their safety is guaranteed.
Oladapo said that all the teachers will resume at TESCOM office from Monday.
The NUT leader said that the union cannot afford to jeopardise the safety of the teachers.
He added that he was surprised that some locals went to beat the teachers at the time the NUT and other stakeholders were at the Police station to bail the arrested vice principal and other staff of the school.
“It is true. Teachers in the school will resume at TESCOM office. All the teachers teaching there. No teacher will resume in the school tomorrow until their safety is guaranteed.
“All the teachers will resume at TESCOM office from Monday until the issue is resolved. So, they will resume at TESCOM office tomorrow.
“Because of their safety. If they could be attacked twice in a day, we don’t know what will happen on Monday. They will not resume in the school until the issue is resolved,” he said.
