Cholera claimed another victim
on Monday at Yaba area of
Lagos, southwest Nigeria, after
the victim was reported to
have eaten the popular local Igbo salad
known as Abacha.
The female victim, simply identified as Blessing,
died on Monday, barely two months after she got
married, at the Military Hospital, Yaba.
Doctors in the hospital had been battling to save
her life since last Thursday when she contracted
the disease.
Blessing was said to have been admitted for
cholera at the military hospital along with another
victim who survived.
A source close to the deceased, who was in shock
said that Blessing got married in September,
2013 and lost her life less than two months later
to cholera.
The deceased was said to have eaten Abacha last
Thursday night. It was bought by her husband,
who did not know that the government had
identified Abacha as one of the local salad cholera
could be contracted from.
The two of them ate the salad but only the wife
contracted cholera and died, while the husband
has no trace of the disease.
It was gathered that after eating the salad, the
couple went to bed and at about 2 a.m., Blessing
was said to have suddenly woken up and started
vomiting and stooling several times before day
break.
She was rushed to a hospital in the area and
when the case was becoming critical, she was
taken to the Military Hospital, Yaba for proper
attention.
It was learnt that the deceased was getting
better and would have been discharged Monday,
but was said to have suddenly developed another
complication.
She was reported to have stooled four times at
short notice, while the doctor treating her was
said to have changed her medication, which later
aggravated the case and she died.
