In earlier tweets, Ada had also called on the State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa to look into the issue.
I suspect that the gas plant beside Mary Mount College Agbor might be the cause of this seizure, the doctors are pointing out Chemical poisoning. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ¥ºðŸ¥º This is heartbreaking to watch your child jerking non stop. I hope the government of Delta state will do something.
Ifeanyi Okowa the last time I checked you’re still the governor of Delta state, you’re a medical doctor, Mary Mount college is in your hometown Agbor, go and look into what’s happening there. 12 girls are down with constant seizure, one have died, others in critical condition.
