No fewer than 300 students of the Federal Government Girls’ College in Efon Alaaye, Ekiti State have been hospitalized for the outbreak of a disease suspected to be cholera epidemic in the school.
The development had triggered serious panic across the state, as parents whose wards are in the school were rushing to the school in droves to identify the victims.
It was reliably confirmed to THIS DAY that signs had started manifesting since October 10, when some students were vomiting and stooling uncontrollably, which sparked up fear among the staff and students.
When the matter was going beyond proportion, the principal, Mrs Grace Ogunyomi was said to have reported it to the state government on Wednesdayfor prompt action.
