“It seems that these criminals are not bothered and they don’t have a sense on the damage they are causing to the future of our children and our Country because without education, we are doomed, the future is bleak. Indeed the coarseness behavior of these criminals is annoying and they must be apprehended and face the law.
This is to reiterate our plea for protection of our schools, and the community is encouraged to always report criminal activities in their areas to the law enforcement agencies for a swift response, ” said MEC Lesufi.
