A mysterious illness has claimed the lives of at least five students at Kebbi State University of Science and Technology, Aliero (KSUSTA), raising concerns among students and authorities.
According to sources, four students died last week, while another passed away on Sunday after a sudden illness.
Officials from the World Health Organization (WHO) recently visited the university for an awareness campaign on meningitis, but no confirmation has been made regarding the cause of the deaths.
The university’s registrar, Maimaru Alhaji Tilli, confirmed four fatalities and stated that the Ministry of Health has advised decongesting student accommodations as a precaution.
Meanwhile, the Students’ Union Government (SUG) has urged university management to shut down the institution to prevent further casualties.
Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the outbreak to prevent more deaths.
