Some schools were also said to have temporarily suspended academic activities as a precautionary measure amid fears of possible attacks.
The development has further heightened security concerns across South-West Nigeria, especially following recent cases of kidnappings and attacks targeting schools in different parts of the country.
Residents and stakeholders have continued to call for stronger security presence around schools, markets, highways, and public places to prevent possible attacks and reassure communities.
The growing insecurity has also increased fear among parents, many of whom are becoming worried about the safety of their children in schools.
In recent months, attacks and abductions linked to armed groups have disrupted academic activities in several communities across Nigeria, forcing some schools to shut down temporarily while others tightened security measures.
