To ADI-SMCS Community,
Upon the analysis of the EOD, the bomb found within Gate 2 of ADI-SMCS campus was a hoax but it was intentionally made to appear like a real Improvised Explosive Device (IED). We are very thankful for the full cooperation of the whole community in the evacuation and safety procedures this morning. We commend those who are in charge of security, and the personnel who were put in charge in the school operations in my absence. This incident is planned and intends not only to disrupt school activities but also to sow fear among our stakeholders and the whole city. ADI-SMCS condemns in the strongest terms such action. ADI-SMCS, in cooperation with the authorities, shall conduct further investigation to determine the perpetrator and pursue legal actions. We assure the public that we shall continue to intensify our security efforts to ensure a safe learning environment.
