Seventeen students loitering and wandering during school hours were on Tuesday arrested by the Kwara Anti-loitering Team.
Alhaji Musa Yeketi, Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, who paraded the students in Ilorin, warned that government would not tolerate indiscipline.
He called on principals and head teachers of various schools to take proper charge of their students and pupils.
Yeketi said that the state government, in fulfilling its campaign promises, would ensure education for all.
