Police spokesman in the state, Omotola Odutola, who confirmed the incident said the 10 suspects have been arrested.
The state government has also condemned the act and vowed that it would not condone acts of indiscipline by learners across the state.
The Special Adviser (SA) to the Governor on Education, Science and Technology, Abayomi Arigbabu, gave the warning while receiving the new executive members of the Mathematical Association of Nigeria (MAN).
He noted that part of the effort put in place was the signing of an undertaking form by learners, parents and school heads to make learners and parents liable for any misconduct of the learners or parents, saying the aim was to have a safe learning environment free from pandemonium of any sort.
