The Executive Chairman, Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Dr. Nureni Aderemi Adeniran, spoke when he visited the school to assess the level of destruction caused by the fire incident.

Adeniran, who frowned on the alleged masterminds of the inferno, promised that the state government would investigate the alleged act of arson and fish out all culprits involved.


He added that anyone found culpable would face the wrath of the law.

Speaking earlier, the Head Teacher, Cannon Okusehinde Memorial School, Aremo, School I, Mrs. Sherifat Salam, described the inferno as the height of vandalism against the school.

She told to the SUBEB chairman that hoodlums had incessantly burgled the school in the past few weeks.
