They were rescued on Sunday in Imota, another town on the outskirt of Ikorodu but resumed to their various classes yesterday.

Unlike the past days when the students, parents and teachers wore a mournful look, it was a different atmosphere entirely, yesterday, as they go about the day’s activities. All effort to speak to the school authorities proved abortive. The broken rear fence through which the kidnappers gained access to the school has been re-erected.

Also, the security consciousness of the school has increased as visitors and strangers are put under close monitoring. Unlike last week when the school gate was usually left open, things have taken a different shape as visitors now pass through interrogation before gaining access to the premises.

A source in the school said, the school has been inundated with phone calls and congratulatory messages since the girls were freed while visitors have been paying visits to the school. Effort to speak to the students also proved abortive as access to the classrooms was restricted.
