The NYSC Kwara State Directorate made the decision to temporarily withdraw 10 corps members from both the junior and senior arms of the school to ensure their safety. The Director General of NYSC, Brigadier General Y.D.

The state's Commissioner for Education, Hajia Sa'adatu Modibbo-Kawu, emphasized that the act was unacceptable and urged calm.
