Pandemonium In Anambra Over Army Free Medical Service, 3 P upils Rumored Dead.

There is pandemonium in Anambra state as students are running helter skelter over what is rumored to be the death of 3 pupils in Ozubulu/Nnewi during free army medical services.

It was reported that some people in military uniform arrived a school in the area and started forcing them to take injection which led to the death of 3 pupils from yet-to-be identified school.

As 10 am today, parents are hurriedly zooming to schools to take their respective wards.

All the schools around the area are currently under lock.

PRESS STATEMENT ACCORDING TO THE ARMY MEDICAL OUTREACH.

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.
