Parents want Kano, Yola Law School campuses closed

The authorities at the Nigerian Law School (NLS) have been called upon to close down the NLS campuses in Kano and Yola. The call is coming on the heels of the unabating attacks by the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents.
This was disclosed yesterday by NLS director general, Olanrewaju Onadeko, at the annual general meeting of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), which took place in Owerri, the Imo State capital.
“Since assumption of office, I have been inundated with calls for us to close down our Kano and Yola campuses because of the security challenges posed by insurgents in those parts of the country,” Onadeko said.
He however, mentioned that the school has embarked on the immediate fencing of the Yola and Kano campuses to check their apparent vulnerability.
Thedirector general added that although the project was capital intensive, the school authority has no option as a responsive and responsible management.
He informed the meeting that the school has secured the support of the Inspector General of Police, the Chief of Defence Staff and the Department of State Security for the deployment of plain clothed officers and men to the precincts of all NLS campuses.
He said modern security gadgets have been deployed to all campuses. “We also have inplace CCTV cameras at strategic locations to aid the operation of our security personnel,” Onedeko said.
In their reaction, some lawyers said that the measures put in place should be investigated and should the measures be found to be inadequate, the two campuses should be closed down
