The students have threatened to set the school ablaze if the headmaster sets his foot in the school again.

“Ever since the headmaster came to this school we have been recording poor performance in the final examination. We don’t want to see him again in this school if he attempts we will set the school ablaze. His activities are affecting teaching and learning in the school and we can’t continue to fail our final exams” the students said.
