“When it happened like that, I quickly had to place a call to my circuit supervisor, then my PTA chairman, SMC chairman who doubles as the chief of that very community and the assemblyman of the area. I quickly called on them, then I and the assemblyman together went to the police station and reported the case.”

“Two personnel were sent to the school to see things for themselves in order to aid them in their investigation,” he added.

Meanwhile, Albert Anyaana told the news portal that one of the laptops, which might have dropped while the thieves were making their way out after the operation, was however retrieved from a nearby bush on the school’s premises.

Investigations into the incident have since been launched as the school has made a formal report to the Sandema Police in the region.
