The government had earlier ordered the immediate closure of one of its Unity College, the Federal Government College Kwali, located in Kwali Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory Abuja.

It had also been reported that security agencies got a security report that the Islamic State West Africa Province and Boko Haram planned to attack Lagos, Kaduna, Kogi, Katsina, and Zamfara states as well as the Federal Capital Territory.

The decision to close the federal school was taken after a reported terrorist attack on the neighbouring Sheda community in the Area Council, which is close to the college.
