An outbreak of a disease suspected to be chicken pox has surfaced in Chibiri, Kuje Area Council of the Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Our roving field reporter said that no fewer than 10 pupils in a private school in the area are affected, forcing the school authority to promptly send other pupils home and shut down the school.
The proprietor of the school, disappeared from the school before our reporter could reach the school, even as officials in the Kuje General Hospital said there is, so far, no official report of the disease outbreak has been made.
The officials, who would not want their names in print, said that no patient with such disease is on admission presently.
