Monkey Pox Patient Commits Suicide by BounceNigeria: 11:16am On Oct 17, 2017
The viral disease Monkey Pox that is ravaging most of the southern states of Nigeria, has claimed its first victim.

The victim allegedly took his own life on Monday at the quarantine centre in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, located in the Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital, Okolobiri, in Yenagoa Local Government Area of the state.

The Commissioner for Health, Ebitimitula Etebu, said the deceased was among the 21 suspected cases of the virus that were being managed at the teaching hospital.

He expressed regret that the patient took his own life despite impressive progress to stem the outbreak by the government.

The deceased’s medical history did not suggest any mental illness or features of depression.

The health commissioner maintained the patient did not die from the disease.

According to him, the police and his family have been duly informed and all due diligence was being followed to ensure the safe burial of victim.

He also formally confirmed the outbreak of Monkey Pox in the state following laboratory evidence from samples sent to the World Health Organisation in Dakar, Senegal.

The health minister, Isaac Adewole, earlier on Thursday, confirmed that three of the samples from Bayelsa tested positive to Monkey Pox.
