Junior Secondary School students caught selling their blood for N1500

Apparently, according to Nigerian Tribune, about nine junior secondary school students were, on Tuesday, caught selling their blood illegally to a man identified as Mr Sola, in Agege area of Lagos.

According to NigerianTribune, members of the community had noticed how students regularly visited a certain shop located on Owoloabi Omotoye street, Orile Agege, during and after school hours.
After a little investigation, it was discovered that the students had been selling their blood for money.

One of the students caught at the shop, identified as Emeka, a JSS2 pupil, confessed to having
donated his blood thrice and that Sola paid a sum of N1, 500 for every donation, asking them “not to tell anyone about it.”

Some of the students, according to reports gathered, had donated their blood up to 17 times .

The Parent-Teachers’ Association chairman, State Junior High School, Mr Adeyemi, who confirmed the  incident, said some of the students, who seemed very sickly as a result of the continuous blood donation, had been taken to the hospital for care, while the rest had been released to their parents.

The case has been reported to the Education district 1 for further address.
