3 school principals suspended in Osun for ‘promoting secession’

Osun State has suspended three principals for allowing a group of secessionists preach to their students.

The suspension was announced by the state’s Commissioner for Education, Folorunsho Bamisayemi on Wednesday.

The commissioner said they were suspended for allowing a seditious group into their school premises to address the students.

“A viral video showed the group talking to the students about the plan of the Yoruba nation to secede from Nigeria.

“The administration of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola was not aware and never gave consent to the group to speak with public school students in the State.

“Nigeria is one entity and will continue to remain so. The state government of Osun never gave consent to any group to speak with students of public schools on a matter we know can cause disunity and chaos in the country.” He said.
