Kukeh and Demba,
When unfamiliar and or toxic fumes enter the air we breathe, different folk have different tolerance levels and depending on the concentration around you you may faint. These fumes can come from farms, homes, or processing plants and tanneries. Evil spirits are afraid of humans. Don't get yourselves scared for no reason. Its in the ppm.
Haruna. I ain't scarred. Columbia!!!!!!!!!! Demba don't let Kukeh scare you men.

Dr. Jaiteh, thanks for sharing... I can only imagine how much this will reinforce this belief in spiritual powers that is already tearing our society apart for decades...
Looks like another job opening for the Dr to put his Demons to work and infect the minds of more Gambians.
On a more serious note this has been a mystery in Armitage for years... Make me wonder if it is some medical mystery similar to what some 12 teenage girls were going through in New York.. They were diagnose with mass hysteria...
See link to the story...
Thanks

Is this students letting out the steam during final term in high school? I remember back Form 5 some talk of a physics student losing it and claiming that he was "seeing energy in the sun". Haruna, don't ask me how?

‘Evil spirit’ attacks students at Ming Ndaw School
Africa » Gambia
Thursday, March 01, 2012
Ming Ndaw Upper and Senior Secondary School in Farato had to close around 10am Wednesday after many of its female pupils started fainting. Many believe the strange phenomenon was caused by an ‘evil spirit’ that has been tormenting young girls in schools across the country for some years now.
The phenomenon, which started in schools in the provinces such as Armitage SSS some years ago, is characterised by screams and fainting fits. Almost a hundred female pupils were affected at Ming Ndaw School Wednesday. The incident started earlier on Tuesday morning with 30 pupils initially affected. Some of the affected pupils were screaming and running away from people. It was very difficult for anyone to control them, as they seem to posses extra power and strength.
Speaking to the Daily Observer at the school premises shortly after the incident, Babucarr A Suwareh, the regional education director, Region Two described the incident as shocking and unfortunate. He said he received a telephone call from the principal of Ming Ndaw Upper Basic School Tuesday, who informed him that some pupils were collapsing at the school.
Suwareh said he immediately sent a team from his office that included Gibril Bah, the Principal Education officer at Region Two to go and investigate the matter, which they did, and found out that 30 pupils were affected. He added that the school was then closed for that day.
He continued: “The following day, while I was driving past the school, I saw a good number of students standing outside the school. I stopped and entered the school and all what I could see again were students falling and screaming on the ground all over the school campus. As I approached to help, I later discovered that more and more students were falling and the number was increasing.
I then called Lamin Sanneh, the governor of West Coast Region to inform him about the incident. At that juncture, I took about three students in my car to Brikama Health Centre and upon arrival, I met the governor at the health centre. We later came together with a number of doctors and nurses to the scene and efforts to control the affected [pupils] became very minimal as the information spread quickly and parents ran to the school to take away their children back home.”
Suwareh disclosed that he once had a meeting with the school's Parent Teachers Association (PTA) on the issue. He said they agreed that the phenomenon has something to do with spiritual powers, and so only the female pupils are affected. He said whenever the ‘evil spirit’ attacks someone, he or she becomes very powerful, making it difficult for three or even four people to control him or her.
He recalled a similar incident that happened sometime back in Janjangburreh in the CRR, while President Jammeh was on a nationwide tour. Suwareh said the Gambian leader personally intervened and assisted some of the pupils who were affected. He stressed that the solution to the problem is not to transfer children to other schools or to close the school.
His words: “If you transfer them to another school, you are trying to spread the problem as it happened in CRR. When all those who were affected were transferred to other schools, they were affected in the same school. Now, we do not want a repeat of that here. I therefore urge all parents whose children are either affected or not to refrain from doing so.”
The regional director said he plans to invite Islamic scholars today, to the school to recite the Holy Quran and give out charity. He also used the opportunity to appeal to parents to change the dress code of their children from short to long dress with their heads covered. “Their skirts need to be thoroughly looked into as many of the female students’ uniforms are very short,” he said.
He also appealed to whoever has any idea about such problems to come forward and help the school. The authorities responsible can be contacted on: 9926966/3926966.
