Barely 24 hours after releasing Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari’s 1961 West African School Certificate (WASC) results, the
Principal of the Government College, Katsina, Mallam Isyaku Bello, has been
receiving death threats.
The source of the threats could not
be ascertained last night.
The principal was summoned by his
employers, the Katsina State Ministry of Education, in connection with the
release of the results, sources close to Mallam Bello said last night.
The embattled principal was said to
have explained that he needed to defend the integrity of the college (formerly
Provincial Secondary School, Katsina) and not Gen. Buhari.
Bello made distress calls to his
friends and relatives, The Nation learnt.
One source said: “Some forces were
unhappy with the issuance of results to Gen. Buhari and they have been
threatening the principal. They have been calling him names, abusing him. Some
were actually threatening to deal with him.
“They told the principal that he
ought to have left Buhari to his fate instead of releasing his results.
“Faced with pressure, the principal
has reached out to friends and relatives on the threats. He explained that he
did so to protect the integrity of the college and not anybody’s.
“We hope that no harm will come upon
the principal, who was just doing his job.”
