According to Yahaya, a vulnerability assessment was done in all the schools in the state to ascertain the schools most vulnerable to attacks before the vigilantes were deployed. He added that in its efforts, the state has also built big schools that will contain greater numbers of students, to reduce the susceptible attacks by criminal elements, who they believe find it easier to attack smaller schools.
