Ogun Govt Deploys Emergency Response After Chemical Odour Affects Students in Ijebu Ode
The Ogun State Government has launched emergency measures after a chemical odour incident in Ijebu Ode. More than 90 students from several schools reported abdominal pain, dizziness, and other symptoms. State officials visited affected pupils and urged calm. The environmental agency’s air quality monitor recorded methane peaks of 13,500 ppm near Ijebu Ode Grammar School. Although below explosive limits, the readings are high enough to demand a rapid investigation. A multi-agency team of health, environmental, and emergency experts is probing the source and testing for gases such as hydrogen sulphide and volatile organic compounds. Residents are advised to avoid open flames and report any nausea, headaches, or respiratory discomfort to nearby clinics. The government promises regular updates as the investigation continues to safeguard public health and environmental safety.
