An infection has broken out in Queen’s College, affecting hundreds of pupils and causing quite a stir.
According to a report by Punch Metro, just two years after three pupils of Queen’s College, Yaba, Lagos, died from water-borne infections, another related disease has broken out in the school.
It was gathered from some parents on Monday that no fewer than 700 pupils had taken permission to go home on health grounds.
The school’s sick bay was said to be overcrowded with pupils, as many were also laid on benches to create extensions.
The PUNCH learnt that more and more parents were being telephoned to come and pick their children as the situation worsened.
