New information has come to light regarding the recent rampage at Litein Boys High School, revealing that the chaos was not solely triggered by a football match.
While the Arsenal vs. Manchester City game took place just before the unrest, the situation had been building for some time.
In the days leading up to the incident, students had shown signs of discontent.
Reports indicate that last week, several students openly defied their teachers and hinted at staging a protest on Monday.
This brewing tension was largely ignored by the school administration, which may have contributed to the later outburst.
The chaos erupted after the football match ended.
Following the game, a whistle was blown, and the school’s electricity was turned off, sending the campus into darkness.
This sudden blackout appeared to be the catalyst for the students’ actions.
Frustrated and confused, groups of students began to raid the school store, arming themselves with pangas and axes.
As tensions escalated, some students attempted to break through the fence separating Litein Boys from AIC Litein Girls.
Their actions prompted intervention from local community members, who rushed to prevent further escalation.
Police officers were on standby near the school but were unable to enter due to the armed nature of the students.
In the midst of the chaos, unusual scenes unfolded.
Some students were seen riding a cow around the school grounds, while others took drastic measures by hot-wiring a school bus.
They drove the bus to the main gate, blocking access for firefighters who were responding to a fire that had broken out in a section of the school.
