Several schools, including Our Lady of Apostles and Anglican Girls Grammar, sent pupils home after reports of irritation and breathing discomfort. Students at Irewon Community High and Ifesowapo Grammar also complained of dizziness and nausea. School authorities opted for early dismissal while parents rushed in to pick up their children. Traders say the recurring incidents have unsettled markets and raised concerns over potential environmental hazards. Many residents are calling on security and environmental agencies to investigate the source of the odour without further delay. Officials have yet to release a statement.
