Tragedy struck at The Polytechnic, Ibadan, on Tuesday when about 10 students from the Science Laboratory and Technology Department inhaled a poisonous gas, causing them to collapse and lose consciousness. The incident occurred after a fight broke out between two students in the lecture hall, following a course test. In the chaos, an unknown choking substance was allegedly sprayed by one of the students involved in the fight, leading to the hospitalization of the affected students.
The Oyo State Government responded promptly to the emergency, with Commissioner for Health, Dr. Oluwaserimi Ajetunmobi, leading an immediate emergency response. The affected students were quickly evacuated and taken to Ring Road State Hospital and the University College Hospital for treatment.
Fortunately, the students are receiving proper medical care and have been stabilized, according to Dr. Ajetunmobi. The Commissioner urged the institution's management to conduct a thorough investigation to identify those responsible and ensure they face justice.
The Rector of The Polytechnic, Ibadan, Dr. Taiwo, appreciated the state government's swift response and promised to take decisive action against those responsible. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining a safe and peaceful learning environment.
