The latest episode occurred on Wednesday during school hours when students and teachers reportedly perceived a strange and pungent odour, leading to breathing difficulties, dizziness, weakness and, in some cases, loss of consciousness.
Those affected were rushed to the General Hospital, Ijebu-Ode, for emergency treatment, while some were reportedly still receiving medical care as of Thursday.
The recurring incidents have heightened concerns among residents, who are calling for urgent government action to avert a potential disaster.
