Victor Ekisa, the head teacher, stated that no one was wounded because the situation was contained.

"The roofs were sent high and given the emergency, we stopped pupils from leaving the classroom to avert any injuries," Ekisa said.

He requested assistance with repairs to the institution, which can accommodate 250 students.

"We have long begged for assistance in building new classrooms for our students. It is past time that this was done to avoid such situations," he continued.
