Pupils of Ogba Junior Grammar School, Ikeja, were Friday kept out of their classrooms following the fainting of some of them on Thursday after allegedly inhaling a poisonous gas.
More than 20 of the pupils were said to have been affected by the gas, which was allegedly emitted from a nearby laboratory.
Director, Lagos State Fire Service, Mr. Razaq Fadipe had told newsmen that 22 students were unconscious after inhaling the gas but many were revived and taken home. He said that four pupils were receiving medical attention in a hospital.
Some officials of the school said the pupils were kept out of their classrooms as a safety measure. At noon, the principal of the school, who refused to mention her name, assembled the pupils and directed them to go home.
