Federal Ministry of Education has directed closure of Federal Government Colleges (FGCs) located in Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and ordered immediate evacuation of students.
It was gathered that the decision was as a result of rising insecurity and threat to the lives, security and wellbeing of the students therein.
The schools were asked to vacate latest on Wednesday, July 27.
While some schools were asked to vacate latest on Wednesday, some other schools sent messages to parents on Sunday asking them not to fail to come pick their children on Monday, unfailingly, perhaps, due to rising fear, anxiety and threat.
Late Sunday evening, an unconfirmed report trended on social media, indicating that there were heavy shootings in Federal Government Colleges (FGCs) Kwali, Abuja, and parents were rushing to the school to ascertain the safety of their children and possibly return home with them until calm is restored.
However, authorities of the school could not be reached for reactions, but a parent identified as Chika, whose three children are in FGC, Kwali, confirmed that a message came from the school that parents should come pick their children not later than Monday noon.
