It was a shocking scene,
those present were left open-mouthed in disbelief while those who got
briefed about the incident later also spent good time clapping hands, gnashing
teeth and speaking inaudibly in surprise.
Within the academic
community of University of Ilorin; the gist of the incident dominated talks and
the issue is still discussed in hush-hush tones.
Second semester
examination is on at the university and the students have for days now been in
examination mood.
A 300-level student in the
faculty of Arts had prepared for the particular paper and like
other students sat patiently though with anxiety over the probable questions. Things
went as planned, the supervising lecturer distributed the question papers and
as soon as he gave the order via the customary statement ‘start’ the shout
of ‘Oh Jesus! I can’t see again’ however diverted attention to the
babe.

She had shockingly, surprisingly
and unfortunately lost her sight on touching the question paper!
Sources disclosed that she was immediately
rushed to the school clinic for medical attention and was promptly referred to
a hospital in town.
We gathered that her
mother was informed and the visibly worried and disturbed woman was also
speechless on arrival wondering how it all happened.
Meanwhile, a source stated
that such an incident was shocking and that it was apparently a spiritual
attack.
‘Somebody who walked into
the examination hall unaided and with a good sight suddenly went blind on
sighting the question paper, it leaves no one in doubt that it was a juju
attack and only metaphysical solution could save her’, the source said.
A top medical expert who
spoke on condition of anonymity, however, countered the perspective of juju
attack and other spiritual reasons stating that there are different causes of
sudden visual loss with sound medical explanations.
‘All those are
anachronistic beliefs of the past that exist only in the imagination of some
people. It is a medical thing; it could happen to anyone with certain
backgrounds; sudden blindness is possible medically and there is no big deal
about it. Sudden visual loss may be dramatic in presentation in cases like
media opacities, retinal DX, Optic nerve DX, Visual pathway, functional
disorder or acute on xnic visual loss’ he stated..
