There are reports that the Principal of the Government College, Katsina, Mallam Isyaku Bello, may have been receiving death threats since he released Gen. Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s 1961 West African School Certificate (WASC) results, The Nation newspaper reports.According to the report, \u201cThe 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne source said: \u201cSome 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\u2019s. We hope that no harm will come upon the principal, who was just doing his job.\u201d<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
