The owner of the clinic has been arrested and is being held at the state CID in Lokoja for investigation.
When contacted, officials of Kogi State Polytechnic said they were unaware of the incident. The Director of Public Relations and Protocol, Uredo Omale, explained that the school had no knowledge of the matter because students are currently on holiday.
