Six children were hospitalized after being stung by bees, with one in critical condition.
Six children aged two to four were rushed to the hospital after being attacked by a swarm of bees in Kananto, a farming community in the West Gonja Municipality of the Savannah Region.
One person is still in critical condition after being stung by flying insects and is being treated by medics at the West Gonja Hospital's emergency unit.
The unfortunate incident occurred on Thursday, June 30, 2022, at approximately 1:37 p.m. on the grounds of the Kananto primary school.
Suglo, the father of two victims, told GhanaWeb that the bees were disrupted after some children kicked a ball into their colony located in the corridors of the school building, which led to the attack.
According to him, the children took to their heels in order to avoid the consequences of their actions.
"So far as I know, my children and the other four innocent victims, who had no idea why the children took to their heels, were still playing around the scene when they were attacked by the bees."
He explained how he learned about the situation, saying, "I received a distress call while sleeping about my children being attacked and pursued by a swarm of bees. I dashed out of my room and rushed to the school, where I discovered that everyone was fighting for his or her life, and we were able to rescue them with the help and dexterity of Ghana National Fire Service personnel who were called to come and salvage the situation ".
According to him, the personnel had a difficult time rescuing the victims, and they were not spared.
"We called Assembly Member immediately after rescuing them to inform him of our predicament, and he reported the incident to the National Ambulance Service, which responded quickly to the distress call by transporting the victims to the hospital for medical attention."
