Medical Superintendent of the hospital, Sylvester Fameye, said 15 students had to be admitted due to their condition while others were treated and discharged.

On the cause of the food poison, Famye said the students bought and ate a refrigerated vegetable sauce.

"From the history we took, they bought vegetable sauce that was stored in a refrigerator by one seller in the school," the medical superintendent said.
