Some enraged parents have been trooping into the Kumasi Academy (Kumaca) in the Ashanti Region to withdraw their children following strange deaths that have struck the school.
Six students have died in a mysterious way within the week. Three died over weekend and three died this dawn.
Their blood samples have been sent to the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical to detect the cause of their death.
The students are said to have complained of some fever but died after they were rushed to the hospital for treatment.
Currently, twenty one students are on admission at the various hospitals.
Some of the students have attributed the strange death to ‘occultism’ whiles others have blamed it on poor sanitation in the school.
But parents who fear their wards might also die have visited the school helping their children pack their stuffs to their various homes to avoid been hit by the disease and later die.
In April this year about three students of the school died of suspected meningitis.
The parents said they will not go home without their children following them.
‘This death issue is becoming too scary, we cannot continue to sit aloof whiles our children’s lives are in danger,’ one of the parents who wants to remain anonymous said.
Reporting on Ultimate Breakfast Show with Lantam Papanko, Isaac Bediako said the Regional Minister Simon Osei Mensah has suggested that the school be closed down to allow students go home.
‘The Minister fears that the students might spread the disease in their various homes and communities at large if they are to go home,’ he reported.
Nurses and doctors will soon be deployed to embark on medical screening and those who will be declared unfit will be quarantined and the rest will be asked to go home.
The school authorities are tight-lipped about the incident.
