Four Almajiri students died after consuming suspected contaminated fish in Kano, while another survived by refusing to eat the fish. The deceased were Abdulfatah Mohammed, 15; Yusuf Nuhu, 16; Buhari Iliyasu, 14; and Ibrahim Muhammad, 22. The incident took place at Tsangaya school owned by Gwani Malam Iliyasu Mai Tsangaya. A friend of one of the deceased, Surajo Unguwar Gareji, recounted how the students began eating the fish but noticed it did not taste right.
Another student, Malam Umar, also declined to eat the fish, suspecting it was unsafe. The incident was reported to the teacher, leading to the students being taken to the hospital, where four were confirmed dead.
