NIGERIA (Adamawa) - Students of the Adamawa State College of Education in Hong Local Government Area of the state, has fled the campus following the threat to attack the institution by the Boko Haram terrorist group.

It was gathered that the notification of the intending attack was contained in a letter dropped in the middle of the school by an unknown individual.

The letter subsequently got to some students who alerted other colleagues and the staff about an impending attack on the college.

Sources disclosed that the institution was thrown into panic as students and staff tries to run for their dear lives.

While confirming the development, the Provost of the college, Dr. Johnson Pongri, noted that the management of the institution had appropriately informed the Hong Divisional Police Officer, the Nigerian Army and other security agencies in the state about the said letter. 

He also said that the management of the institution had already informed all relevant organisations in the education sector about the letter which he described as the fifth in two months in order to avoid a repeat of what happened in Yobe State where innocent students were attacked both in their hostels and in examination halls.

 “The students have started leaving the campus since Tuesday evening over the alleged threat from Boko Haram, while some left campus yesterday.

"However, the management of the college has been trying to pacify the students to stay back in the institution as security operatives are on alert and trying to beef up security in the college,” he said.
