A few weeks ago, an unidentified disease killed six persons in Koya village of Minjibir Local Government Area of Kano State. It also left many others hospitalised.
It wasn’t long before the disease was identified to be cholera, and an outbreak confirmed by the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).
According to a report by the NCDC, there were 158 suspected cases of cholera in the recent outbreak in the state, with 11 deaths recorded.
Daily Trust had earlier spoken to the village head of the community, Sulaiman Muhammad, who confirmed the deaths, adding that about 40 other persons were hospitalised with diarrhoea and vomiting.
