UPDATE:

PRESS STATEMENT: ARMY MEDICAL OUTREACH
10.10.17

The attention of the State Government has been drawn to an on going medical outreach being undertaken by the Army in Ozubulu, Ekwusigo Local Government Area.

The State has been made to understand that the exercise is part of Army social responsibility to members of the public.

However, strong apprehension among the populace has followed the exercise leading to withdrawal of students from schools by parents, misconception of the actual motive behind the exercise by stakeholders, community leaders and a general reservation by the public for whom the outreach is intended.

To this end and to ensure no further escalation of the situation, His Excellency the Governor, Chief Willie Obiano has contacted the Army Authories and advised for immediate stoppage of the medical outreach until wide sensitization is conducted to reassure people of its intentions and benefits. The exercise has therefore been put on hold.

Parents and guardians are strongly advised to stop withdrawing their wards from schools as the situation has been handled. All schools within the State will remain open as there is no cause for alarm! Community leaders, Presidents General and all Stakeholders are hereby reassured of the commitment of the Governor and the State Government to the wellbeing of Ndi Anambra.

The State Government also strongly condemns observed rhetorics on social media completely misrepresenting the situation with insinuations of spread of diseases and death of students in schools arising from the exercise. The State categorically refutes these rhetorics and confirms that there is no death of any student anywhere in the State. Mischief makers are warned to desist from spreading falsehood. Anambra remains calm and peaceful!

Thank you!

Prof Solo Chukwulobelu
Secretary to the State Government.

Why shoot people and kids? Why are these beasts in uniform senseless?

There is confusion in Nnewi as we speak. People are running helter-skelter with their kids. Some children are crying as their mates are taken home by their parents.
Looks like a typical war situation.

Kanu and IPOB is right. The East is under siege.

Is true oo...confusion right in nnewi....Wsts happening ..

The story sounds very incredible. There should be a confirmed and credible source before this is pushed to frontpage to avoid raising false alarm.

waiting for credible source but people at Nnewi should please give us genuine update about happenings over there

I heard the news now from a person that called in the live interactive program in ABS Onitsha. But I think it's a mere rumor.

no sir, even if is a false alarm it doesn't matter for now until the government says so. for now is inhumane to condemn the news as false without any followed protocol.

cc: lalasticlala

Move this to front page let know exactly what is happening in nnewi now

Social media Will kill us one day.this is exactly what happened during ebola saga. my mum came back and was broadcasting the news,I went out and enquire yet not even one person can say exactly what is happening. if you see the way people are driving just to pick up their kids from school eh.
And I can swear with my left balls that somebody started the rumour through whatsapp broadcast groups.

nothing is happening.. just rumors that soldiers are killing school children. I asked people to show me where and when the soldiers killed the students, they couldn't even say anything

MODIFIED

ordinary immunization ,free eye services and medical check up made people to tear race like this!!! .Yet people have been filling the atmosphere with hate speeches. I wonder what will happen if it was bomb that was dropped. see the way people are running helter shelter. Mtn, recharge card sellers and bike men really hit a jackpot today.I only pity the innocent women that injured themselves today because of the trouble and confusion. That the reason I block any person that send me those broadcast message for whatsapp.

let me guess, soldiers in the company of monkeys have invaded the schools, they have created a vaccine against monkeypox?


this story has k-leg.

Every school in Nnewi has closed for the day. There's no concrete reason for this other than the rumor that some people came in helicopter and was/is injecting students with what they believed to be monkey pox.

Me is afraid to go and find out as my mum called that soldiers are shooting too, maybe it's her way of scaring me from going out. Let me not play with chance.

THIS IS EVIL AT ITS PEAK. GOD HELP US FROM THOSE WICKED MONSTERS.

Zombie are you in Nnewi? Why not go on a fact-finding mission to Central primary school, Maria regina etc.

This can't be true, please people should stop spreading rumours

arrant? Maybe... But nonsense? I doubt. Seems like a complete chaos up in here. Maybe it's just a rumor, but there's no smoke without fire.

Lies and propaganda from the usual source.
Why are those in Onitsha still in school? I just called someone in Nnewi now and nothing of such.
Mods, OP should be banned for peddling false information and raising unnecessary alarm.

I can only tell you what is true. Schools are on shutdown and students are in the streets running home.
