Dr. Oyebanji Filani, the Commissioner for Health in Ekiti State has revealed that the rescued school pupils of Apostolic Faith Nursery and Primary School in Emure currently under medical observation at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital in Ado Ekiti are all in stable medical condition.
The Commissioner who briefed newsmen at the premises of the hospital shortly after visiting the pupils and their teachers on Wednesday, noted that the pupils would soon be discharged after the outcome of the clinical psychotherapy result they went through.
Dr Filani noted that the result would determine the next phase of their treatment.
The Commissioner was joined on the visit by Prof Kayode Olabanji, the Chief Medical Director of the hospital and other top officials of the Hospital.
“We will certainly discharge them at the appropriate time. They underwent clinical psychotherapy yesterday, but we have to wait for the result to determine the next phase. But, we expect that they will be discharged sometimes this week,” he asserted.
The CMD, Prof Kayode Olabanji while also speaking with newsmen confirmed that the pupils have received all necessary medical attention because the needed specialists expected to attend to them were available.
Prof. Olabanji stated further that all of them were quite stable, stressing that none of them developed any complications.
Recall that the children and their teachers were brought to the hospital for medical attention, on the directive of Governor Biodun Oyebanji, immediately after they regained freedom from their kidnappers Sunday morning.
