Following the incident, the student came with a local gun to school with the intent of shooting the vice principal of the school but was discovered.

On the said day, she was asked by a teacher to go cut her hair because she dyed it during the festival period (December). The teacher also confiscated her sandals, so that after cutting the hair she would pick them up.
“But after she had cut the hair, she came to show the teacher and then get her sandals back, but we decided to calm her down because she started becoming rude and said she wanted to see the principal.
“When she got there, the principal tried to calm her down, but when she got talking, we discovered she was heavily drunk with alcohol (Captain Jack). She was not stable at all. At that point, her bag was searched and a very expensive gold-plated phone, gold necklaces including a locally made pistol was recovered, and she confessed that it was given to her by her man friend’ with who she has been having an affair with,” the source revealed.
Further investigations show that the girl’s boyfriend who allegedly gave her the pistol is in his late 60s and has been the one influencing the teenager.
The source affirmed that she is a bright child with great potentials if properly raised.
According to some of her classmates who spoke on the condition of anonymity, the SS2 students came with the intention to shoot the vice principal because she was asked to cut her colour hair or dye it back to black.
