According to reports, the assailants, disrupted the event with gunshots and physical violence, leading to chaos as both staff and students attending the award ceremony sought safety.
The attackers, arriving in hired vehicles, fired shots into the premises, preventing the scheduled event from taking place.
The Commissioner, widely known as ‘Bonsue Aketi,’ bore the brunt of the attack, suffering a physical assault.
