One of the students of Kanta Unity College, who pleaded for anonymity, narrated: “We believe that the death of our colleagues is an attack by evil spirits. We were cleaning our school environment recently when we heard a strange voice in the fire we set to rubbish, telling us to be ready to face the music for what the strange voice called ‘intruding into their vicinity’.”

The Christians are being slaughtered around there aren't they.
The Destroyers of Jerusalem
Destroyed…11People
will live in it, and there will no longer be a curse, for Jerusalem will dwell
in security. 12Now
this will be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the peoples who have
gone to war against Jerusalem; their flesh will rot while they stand on their
feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongue will rot in
their mouth. 13It
will come about in that day that a great panic from the LORD will fall on them;
and they will seize one another's hand, and the hand of one will be lifted
against the hand of another.…
and
their tongues shall consume away in their mouth; with which antichrist and his
followers have blasphemed the name of God, his tabernacle, and his saints; and
which they will gnaw for pain, when the plagues of God are inflicted on
them,Revelation 13:5.

There are suggestions that the all male victums were poisoned by drinking methanol, illigal drinks. The limited group of patients in a limited time suggest poison not a virus.

Weedkiller likely cause of Nigeria 'mystery disease': WHO
Geneva (AFP) - Pesticide poisoning was the likely cause of the mysterious deaths of at least 18 people in a southwestern Nigerian town earlier this week, the World Health Organization said Sunday. The "current hypothesis is cause of the event is herbicides", WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl said in a tweet. "Tests done so far are negative for viral and bacterial infection," he added. The victims began showing symptoms early last week in what Ondo state spokesman Kayode Akinmade called a "mysterious disease", prompting fears of a new infectious disease outbreak in a region ravaged by Ebola. The victims, whose symptoms included headache, weight loss, blurred vision and loss of consciousness, died within a day of falling ill in the town of Ode-Irele, in southwestern Ondo state. The Ondo state health commissioner, Dayo Adeyanju, told AFP on Saturday that 23 people had been affected. Akinmade said health officials and experts from the government and aid agencies, as well as WHO epidemiologists, had arrived in Ode-Irele to investigate the deaths. The tests were carried out at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, the WHO said.

The question now is 'who laced the drinks with weedkiller?'.

Local gin suspected of causing 18 mystery Nigeria deaths (Update)Ethanol poisoning from a locally brewed gin may have been responsible for the sudden death of 18 people last week, Nigerian health authorities said Monday. "We strongly suspect ethanol poisoning and in view of this, we have ordered for another toxicology test for the surviving victims," Ondo state health commissioner Dayo Adeyanju told AFP. Preliminary investigations ruled out viral or Ebola infection for the outbreak of the mysterious illness in the southwestern town of Ode-Irele on April 15. "Our investigations revealed that five of the victims took local gin mixed with herbs. Three of them died while the other two have been put under close observation," Adeyanju said. A total 23 people were affected, and 18 died. The five others were referred to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital for further tests. Adeyanju said the disease was not contagious, and that no new cases have been reported in the past four days. "We will continue to monitor the situation. We are appealing to our people to report any case of sudden illness or death to the health authorities for immediate action," he said. Experts from the World Health Organization were in Ode-Irele to investigate and contain the disease. The WHO representative in Nigeria, Dr Rui Gama Vaz, told reporters in Abuja on Monday that his organisation would continue to provide technical support to health authorities to battle the disease. The global health body had said on Sunday that pesticide poisoning was the likely cause of the mysterious deaths. The victims, whose symptoms included headache, weight loss, blurred vision and loss of consciousness, all died within a day of falling ill.

Sounds like a big group of drunks drinking gin did something stupid. These things are a way of life in Nigeria. Staying drunk.... drugs... murder..... rape.... a way of life. It is what it is.
