Authorities in Ogun State say a suspected gas leak in Ijebu-Ode sends more than 100 students and teachers to hospital. Both outlets report that the incident occurs again in the town, with the affected people coming from several schools and experiencing symptoms that prompted urgent medical care. The Punch and Vanguard both describe panic among students and staff following the leak.
Vanguard reports the incident happens on Friday and affects over 100 students and teachers across multiple schools in Ijebu-Ode. It also notes that the event comes less than two months after a similar gas leak in the same state left dozens hospitalised. The Punch similarly says the second Ogun gas leak triggers hospitalisation of more than 100 students and teachers.
The Punch adds that investigators are looking into elevated methane levels in the area, suggesting the leak is linked to gas readings at or near the affected location. Both sources frame the matter as an ongoing investigation by local authorities.
