When the dismissal bell were ranged,
i became scared. Whenever our dismissal bell is been ranged,
no body will be allow to go out of the school till the dismissal assemble will be over.
All the students went down to the dismissal assemble
for closing prayer.
Company also joined us,i can’t even remember the
last time he attended both morning and afternoon assemble,
he even stood at my back,
i was a bit scared.
After praying and announcement,
two hilux landed in our school,
everybody were suprised.
When they came out of the vehicle,
behold they are policemen.
That moment they came down from their vehicle,
they rushed to the assemble ground,
they started moving around.
One of them passed me from the front and immediately,
what i heard was a beating.
I turned around and it was company and
immediately those boys that i fought with and the
extra two guys that followed them,
saw how they are beating company and they ran to the gate inorder to escape but
our gateman locked the gate and they were captured.
The policemen beat them to the point that
their mouth started bleeding.
All the students and all the teachers were
mopping at them.
Soon our principal came out from
his office and
moved closer to where the policemen were handling company and his boys.
He demanded from the policemen to knw what they did…..
One of the policemen told our principal that,
they went to Comprehensive Secondary School (the school is in Awka,
Anambra state ) and robbed some students and killed 2 of them.
According to the report that came to our station.
He was identify by one student of that school
that said,he knew him and his boys.
After the policeman finished explaining to our principal,
he moved to where they kept company’s school bag and opened it..
They found some phones and a small pistol gun and all the students shouted.
After everything,our principal gave them his full support to take him away,they took him and his boys away.
After their departure,our principal gathered us together and started to warn us using
company as an example. After everything we dismissed from the assemble ground.
We commenced with our lesson,throughout the lesson that day,
