Minister for Education, Premila Kumar confirms that 10 students were sent home for 3 days to rest after the incident at Veiuto Primary School earlier this month.

fijivillage has been informed that some students of the school had to be counselled after they were seriously affected following an incident at school last Friday where two games, Charlie Charlie and Red Door Yellow Door were being played.

We have been informed by some concerned parents that there are allegations of some students acting like they were possessed.

The students had to be sent home early.

fijivillage has gathered that there are a few TikTok users from abroad that teach people on how to play the games.

Meanwhile the Education Minister says parents will monitor the progress of the 10 students prior to returning to school.

Kumar says counselling is provided to students and a church minister is also helping the school by conducting prayers and by talking to students.
