ONDO state government weekend says it suspects
ethanol poisoning as responsible for the death of
over 20 persons in Irele area of the state last
week.

It dismissed insinuation that the alleged strange
disease was contagious and put death tool at 18.
Conflicting reports emanated from the remote
community last week over the outbreak of strange
disease.

While the natives people in the community alleged
that the death was caused by some unknown
persons who committed sacrilege by breaking into
the Malokun Shrine and stoling sacred objects,
government insist such is unknown to science.
The Health Commissioner Dr Dayo Adeyanju,
speaking in Akure said ”findings from post-
mortem carried out on the victims and other
laboratory tests revealed that the disease was
neither epidemic nor contagious.

According to him” preliminary report shows that
ethanol poison was found in the systems of all the
victims.

“Our investigations have also revealed that the
victims, who, interestingly, were all Okada riders,
gathered at some local joints to consume alcoholic
substance mixed with roots and some other local
herbs on the eve of the outbreak of the disease.

“I can assure you that the disease is in no way
contagious. The fact that none of the caregivers
has contracted the disease has greatly
underscored this point.
