The Ogume Grammar School was shut down by the State Government on October 14, 2021, following the violent activities in the school by some unscrupulous elements which led to the death of a female child.

The incident culminated in the burning down of classroom blocks and the destruction of other facilities in the school.

In a bid to bring sanity to the school and ensure the safety of the students, the state government ordered the closure of the school.

The state Commissioner for Secondary Education, Mrs Rose Ezewu had informed the representatives of Ogume Community during a meeting held in her office that the state government want the community to rebuild the damaged classroom blocks so as to serve as a deterrent to others.
