The victims, Abdulfatah Mohammed, 15, Yusuf Nuhu, 16, Buhari Iliyasu, 14, and Ibrahim Muhammad, 22, died at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital on the night of August 16. Another student, Auwalu Surajo, 18, survived and is receiving treatment. According to accounts given to Daily Trust, one of the students found the fish under a chair while doing chores at the home of Malam Iliyasu Zulyadaini and shared it with the others. Two survivors, Surajo Unguwar Gareji and Malam Umar, said they stopped eating because the fish tasted strange.

He said the victims were moved through five hospitals in search of treatment. Zulyadaini said his wife suffered a miscarriage from the shock. The Kano Police Command spokesman, SP Abdullahi Kiyawa, said the victims were from Sule Tankarkar LGA of Jigawa State and that investigations were ongoing. A medical doctor, Dr Usman Abdullahi Nagogo, advised the public to be careful about eating food of unknown origin.
