Students of the Uyo High School along Oron Road, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, have been asked to temporarily vacate the school premises as suspected cultists threatened to kill the principal, Mr Michael Etuk, if he fails to release their members arrested by the police within 24 hours.
The Chairman of the State Secondary School Board, Dr Ekaette Okon, was mandated by the Commissioner of Education, Mrs Idongesit Etiebet, to shut down the school on Thursday.
The school area was said to have witnessed cult clashes, including a clash near a filling station located opposite the school.
