The school which belongs to Living Faith Church, aka Winners Chapel, owned by Bishop David Oyedepo.

It was gathered that the school management had sent a ‘distress message’ to the parents to pick up their children for safety purposes following the explosion.
Many parents who could not understand the nature of the explosion thought that the school and the church were under attack considering the insecurity in the country.
Normalcy, however, returned when officers of the FCT Fire Service put out the raging fire which was a few metres away from the school and no life was lost.
