The principal said: “At around 12:00 pm, the Army, Police, Kastelea and Road Safety entered the house of Maulanmu Shehu, here at the school, arrested the students and took them away during the night.”

He also said he has no idea why the students were arrested, but since the closure of schools during the first coronation, the students have since been released, however, he said those arrested are now living in Sheikh Dahiru’s house.

“We can’t determine how many of the disciples were picked up, because at night they came and were evacuated,” he said.

He also told us that they tried to contact the Kaduna government at the time of the incident, but were unable to speak to them.

Meanwhile, the Kaduna governor’s aide to the media, Abdallah Yunus Abdallah, when contacted told BBC that the state government would not comment on the matter as at the time, but that they would come out soon to find out more.

OnyxNews Nigeria gathered that, there was no reason for the raid, but even in recent days the state government has revoked the license of a school and closed it for alleged violations of the Koran Act.
