From Tony John and Gbolahan Gbolagunte

Frenzy and panic ruled the day in Port Harcourt and Akure Tuesday morning especially at the schools.

It was replica of the same incident witnessed in the South East states last week.

Tuesday before noon,  parents had besieged schools in Port Hacourt and Akure to take their children home.

Our reporters at the cities said frenzy took a better of the day and stopped school activities as news circulated that people in military uniform had come to the schools to immunize the children by force

This rumour has however been denied severally by the military
