The students, reports stated destroyed the lighting system and plunged the whole school into darkness and also destroyed parts of the ceiling of a new six-unit classroom block that was handed over to the school to end the double-track system.

The aggrieved students also destroyed the louvre blades of the school administration.

At the sight of vehicles approaching the school, the rioting students managed to escape without being caught.
