By Kelechi David

Over fifteen students of the College of Health, Science and Technology, Ijero Ekiti have been allegedly hospitalized.

This followed the fumigation of the environment of the College by Government Officials to prevent covid-19.

According to report, some of the students hospitalized were said to be asthmatic patients who developed complication after inhaling the chemical used for the fumigation.

Those with critical conditions were said to have been rushed to the Federal Teaching Hospital, Ido Ekiti.

Report says most of the students were responding to treatment at the General Hospital, Ijero-Ekiti.

Some staff who pleaded anonymity told Journalists that the students were writing examination when the fumigation took place though the School Management had earlier received memo on the planned fumigation.

The incident attracted many parents as they trooped to the College for their children.

Meanwhile, some parents in Ijero-Ekiti have called on the State Government to beef up security around the college.
