According to DSP Onovwakpoyeya, "The DPO said their stomachs were swollen and their skins were already peeling as if they poured hot water on them. Later we realized that they're suspected internet fraudsters (yahoo boys). We noticed they're not students because they had to get the caretaker who said he actually rented the room to one person. He brought others. But this time around, they're seven. That they're not students of the school.ÔÇØ
