Cows disrupt academic activities in Edo state

 Teachers and pupils of Ohovbe Primary School in Ikpoba Okha local government area of Edo State escaped death and injuries  on Wednesday, following the invasion of the school by rampaging cows.The  cows were said to have ransacked the entire school, as they invaded various classrooms and disrupted academic activities. Teachers and pupils who had resumed classes in the early hour of the day, ran for safety, when the cows entered their classrooms.

The  situation forced them to abandon their classes, as they had to jump through the windows for safety.

The development has since been reported to the State Ministry of Education, which immediately moved into action to evacuate the cows from the classrooms to enable normal academic activities to continue. some parents of pupils of the school who described the situation as embarrassing, called on the State Government to urgently build a  fence round the school to avoid a re-occurrence.The Head teacher of the school, Mrs. Mercy Emumen, had earlier lamented the havoc wreaked on the school by those grazing cows and called on the appopriate authorities to act fast in order to avoid endangering the lives of the teachers and pupils of the school.
