The Federal Ministry of Education has dismissed reports alleging that suspected Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists attacked the Federal Government Girls College (FGGC), Monguno, Borno State, killing students and attempting to abduct others.
The ministry described the reports as false, saying its internal verification, including direct communication with the school principal, confirmed that the college remained safe and academic activities were ongoing.
The Director of Press and Public Relations of the ministry, Mrs Folasade Boriowo, in a telephone interview on Sunday, said the ministry launched an investigation immediately after the reports emerged.
“There is no attack. Our findings have shown that, contrary to media reports, there was no attack at the school. We can confirm that,” Boriowo said.
