Channels TV reports that all the d€aths have
been recorded in Irele LGA of the state. Dr Dayo Adeyanju, Ondo health
commissioner, said that the disease,
discovered on April 15, Wednesday, is
strange and it’s symptoms include headache
and loss of sight. He a$$ured the residents that the local
and international health institutions were
already investigating the causes of the
ailment and considering the effective ways
of treatment. In an attempt to allay the residents’
fears Adeyanju said that the situation was
under control. In a similar development, last year a strange
disease claimed lives of five students in
Kebbi state. One of the students of Kanta Unity College,
who pleaded for anonymity, narrated: “We believe that the d€ath of our
colleagues is an attack by evil spirits.
We were cleaning our school
environment recently when we heard
a strange voice in the fire we set to
rubbish, telling us to be ready to face the music for what the strange voice
called ‘intruding into their vicinity’.”
