A police source hinted that the young man acquired the school visitor’s card from his girl friend, who is a final year student of the school (name withheld), and used the card to gain entry into the school premises, where he spent the whole day with the girl.
The source explained that the female student, a Muslim, had stolen the visitor’s card from her father’s pocket during the last vacation, and gave it to the young man to use in gaining entrance to the school premises.
It was gathered that the school security personnel (gate men) had denied the girl’s father from entering the school premises because he could not produce visitor’s card, but that as soon as the girl’s boyfriend arrived, he was ushered into the premises on producing the required card.
Luck ran out on the two lovers when a senior teaching staff of the school, who saw the girl’s father at the gate, asked the gate men to allow him into the premises “on self-recognition.”
The source said that the girl had hid the intruding boyfriend in her room with the help of her room-mates and that immediately her father left, she settled down with the young man to eat the food her father took to her.
“It was when the young man made to leave the premises late in the evening that the vigilant gate men stopped him at the gate, subjected him to interrogation and eventually discovered that he was an intruder,” the source hinted.
It was gathered that the school authority, embarrassed by the development, promptly handed the young man to the police, even as the authority sent the girl parking out of the school premises.
The Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in Kuje was not immediately available to comment on the issue, but a senior officer confirmed that the young man is in detention and that investigation is ongoing. [myad]
