The principal of the school, Mr. Raymond Gofut, was quoted as saying the incident occurred when the students were returning to their dormitory in the evening shortly after a downpour.
The third student was immediately rushed to an undisclosed hospital while the bodies of the deceased students were later deposited at a local mortuary.
Confirming the incident, the state Commissioner for Education, Mr. Nanle Dashe, said it was not a government-owned secondary school though he was yet to receive full details about the incident.
