11 people have died and more than forty seven people have been hospitalized after an outbreak of cholera in the local government area of Bebeji in the state of Kano.
The suspected outbreak of the disease has affected three villages: Hayin Madaci, Kuki and Falli Sarki.
Ubale Dawud Abubakar, a youth leader in the area, said that the peoples have been fighting against the suspected rage for more than a week.
Musa Abdullahi, the father of six children, said he has been in contact with the authorities and is waiting for a response.
“Even member of the state assembly, Abubakar Galadima Kuki is from this area, we have tried to get in touch with him to know our situation but to no avail,” said Ubale Abubakar.
Malama Habiba Muhammad, a mother of four lost her daughter, Fausiya aged three on Sunday after vomiting and stooling since Thursday afternoon.
“Incidentally my daughter started stooling and vomiting on Thursday afternoon after visiting our neighbour that two of their children are having similar disease. I tried administering some drugs I bought from a patent medicine store but the situation did not improve,” Malama Habiba said.
The Health Commissioner of the State, Dr. Lbrahim Getso, said that a team of medical personnel was drafted in the affected areas to determine the situation and give details of their known findings.
