Calm returns to Nungua SHS after students collapse
All the 20 students who were hospitalised, have been treated for hysteria and discharged.
Meanwhile, it has been revealed that the management of the school is considering giving students a 2-week break to ensure that total calm is restored.
The school authorities addressed the students after the incident.

In an interview with Accra-based Citi FM, the students said they would prefer to rather complete the academic term without any break to distort the school’s calendar.
“They said some spirit had attacked some of them. Some started fainting and they were taken to the hospital but right now, they are all back and everyone is okay now,” one of the students said.
“I’m okay since they went to the hospital and they are back and everybody is normal. If they give us a 2-week break, it is going to postpone our date of vacation so I feel we should continue,” another student said.
A Physician Specialist at the hospital Dr. Joseph Oliver Commey told Accra-based Citi FM that some of the students said they were seeing ghosts.

“They rushed to the emergency room with some behaving abnormally. But we found out that most of them were suffering from hysteria. They said they had seen things, some seeing ghosts, some seeing other students who are dead.”
“We can’t work with that as clinicians so we have managed them. They are currently very stable and they are waiting to see the clinical psychologist. We’ve seen close to 18 students, and we are observing 3 others. By the end of the day, we’ll hand them over to the school authorities who are still here,” he added.
