The Deputy Director of Health of Tambuwal Local Government Area of Sokoto State, Alhaji Bala Oroji, said on Monday that five persons died of suspected cholera at Barkeji village.

Oroji said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Tambuwal.

He said all the deceased persons were aged between 27 and 30 years.

Oroji said three persons, one female and two males, out of the nine people infected, died on October 14.

“Similarly, a male and a female died on October 19 due to the epidemic, out of the remaining infected persons,” he said.

He said 11 infected persons were hospitalised at the Barkeji Community Dispensary on Sunday.

According to him, four of the affected persons have been discharged on Monday, while the remaining seven on admission at the health centre are still receiving treatment.

He said that adequate drugs had been supplied to the dispensary by the local government.

‘’We thank God that the situation is under control and we are even expecting to discharge the remaining infected persons either today or tomorrow,’’ he added.

Oroji said that the local government had embarked on a massive public enlightenment campaign to educate the people on the need to maintain good sanitary environment.

‘’The campaign is to sensitise the people to the need to keep their environment clean, drink clean water and also ensure personal hygiene.

“We have reported the incident to the state Ministry of Health and it had assisted the community with additional drugs,’’ he said.

It will be recalled that cholera had killed eight people in Plateau State few days ago.

thank you for the rhymes. Are you the real Slim Shady?

This is indeed sad! Cholera in this age. When a clean, accessible and evenly distributed pipe borne water would have gone a long way to prevent this ish. Also accessible & affordable healthcare could have also helped. Rather what do we see? Misplaced priority on the part of the involved stakeholders, no political will power to curb this avoidable deaths. I just pray this doesn't go pandemic cos then it won't be a joke.
Cholera is terrible if you've seen one. God save Nigeria

n their leaders ar busy fightin gej instead focusin on hw to eradicate cholera frm their region..
smh for them

I'm sure the disease is yet to reported in the West also. Their dirtiness is by far worse than that of the North yet they open their gutters to call the northerners dirty aboki. Silly generation of opportunists

Western education is a sin..let dem countinue to wallow in their own foolishness

So, a disease like cholera still exist in this part of the World?

dimples*:



What kinda food can he take now, cos he is half his size now and still. Weak/dizzy most times?

He should keep to the vegies + staple foods (for weight gain and energy) for now.
He should avoid sea foods and red meat (consume only 'lean meat').
Don't be tempted to consume fatty foods.
Finally, water. Very clean if not sterilized water ONLY.!
His food must be very fresh or properly cooked to kill possible pathogens.
OR. Consult a nutritionist.
