(Update) What Really killed Abuja Pupils Contrary To Eating Biscuits – Doctor Reveals

The Federal Capital Territory Administration has stated that, the 3 students that died after eating biscuits as regards to an initial report, were not killed by the biscuits but by meningitis.

The special assistant to the FCT minister on media, Abubakar Sani, quoted the Director of public health, Dr Humphrey Okoronkwo, as stating that the pupils died of meningitis.

Sani said: “The FCT director of public health, Dr Humphrey Okoronkwo, says three pupils in Kubwa school died of suspected cases of cerebrospinal meningitis, not food poisoning.”

The school authorities reportedly quizzed the student who shared the biscuits and her mother after the incident.

A teacher stated: “The girl and her mother have been invited. They met with the school authorities and they were not indicted in any way. The school is carrying out its own investigations. The pupils that were claimed to have died don’t even have their names in our register. We don’t believe the biscuit theory because a lot of people ate the biscuits.”

DSP Anjuguri Manzah, spokesman of the command has said no arrest had been made and although the investigation is ongoing, the case would be transferred to the command’s Criminal Investigation Department for a more discreet investigation.

A worker visiting the hospital lamented: “Why will they bury some children without ascertaining what killed them? It is not proper. The solution may be to have all the children immunised. How can anyone say they ate biscuits and died when there is no medical test to confirm this?”
