The 32 Artillery Brigade of Nigerian Army, Akure has refuted rumours of harmful vaccination being conducted by some people believed to be soldiers in Ondo State.
On Tuesday, parents and guardians stormed schools in the state to withdraw their wards after rumours the army was administering harmful vaccination on children.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Brigade’s Spokesperson, Maj. Ojo Adenegan, 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.”
