Army Reacts On the Students Abandon Of School because of The Rumours Of Harmful Vaccination

The 32 Artillery Brigade of Nigerian Army, Akure
has debunked rumours of harmful vaccination
being conducted by some people believed to be
soldiers in Ondo State.
Parents and guardians on Tuesday stormed
schools in the state to withdraw their wards
after rumours the army was administering
harmful vaccination on children.
The Brigade’s Spokesperson, Maj. Ojo
Adenegan, in a statement issued on Tuesday,
however, denied the rumours. He insisted the
Army was not conducting any medical outreach
in the state.
He said, “The attention of 32 Artillery Brigade,
Akure, has been drawn to the fake information
making rounds in Ondo State that soldiers are
administering poisonous vaccine on pupils and
students of primary and secondary schools in the
state.
“We are using this medium to inform the general
public to disregard such information.
“There is no ongoing medical outreach in Ondo
State.
“The information is the handiwork of mischief
makers and should be treated as such.”
Adenegan urged the general public to provide
useful information on any person or group of
persons behind the malicious information
against the military.
