It was learnt that the money was handed over to the teacher for safe keeping owing to the lack of commercial banks in Iguobazuwa, the headquarters of Ovia South-west Local Government Area where the school is located.

According to a report by Daily Post, an alarm was raised by one of the parents of the students that eventually led to the arrest of the proprietor of the school by police operatives of Iguobazuwa division.
