The Federal Ministry of health has ordered immediate closure of Queen’s College, Yaba Lagos after the death of two of their students.
The two boarding students, Vivian Osuinyi and Bithia Itulua, allegedly died of diarrhoea, between Thursday, February 23 and Friday, February 24, 2017, after vomiting and stooling. The students reportedly ate Spaghetti and drank the water served in the Refectory by the college cooks.
The Federal Ministry of Health, which gave this order, said it had commenced investigations into the death of the students.
Following the outbreak of diarrhoea in the school, parents, whose wards resumed on Monday, had earlier contacted officials of the Parents Teacher Association (PTA), to find out the situation of things.
