On 4th April 2017, many Christians/ followers of the Evangelical Church gathered inside
the school compound to oppose the sale of the school land to the investor by the former
committee. The police had earlier surrounded the place in preparation of the handover
event which was in contestation between the community, first (old) committee and
second (new) committee.
Then Mr. Shamsoun Hamad Alaaras, a teacher (allied to second committee) climbed
the school wall and attacked the gathered people with a knife while the police watched.
He stabbed three people which resulted into the death of teacher/ Younan and the
severe injuries to Pastor Farouq Anglo and Ayoub Camama (a church leader).
Some people were arrested and transferred to Omdurman central police where they
were accused of public nuisance. However, Shamsoun who stabbed people ran away
and was later arrested after pressure from the community.
The arrested people were;
1) Pastor/ Idris Crtina.
