Some aggrieved final-year students of Gyutiev Model College in Saghev Ward, Guma Local Government Area of Benue State, have allegedly set fire to the residence of their principal, Mr. Isaac Yina.

The incident, according to reports, occurred in the early hours of Friday.

When contacted by Daily Post, the Public Relations Officer of the Benue State Police Command, Udeme Edet, stated that she had not yet received the report.

She, however, assured our correspondent that “when I find out, I will let you know.”
