Ezra Joshua, Secretary of Sir Patrick Yakowa Hospital in Kaduna state, said in a statement that 5 people died and 10 people were hospitalized due to the undiagnosed disease in the state’s Kafanchan region.
Joshua stated that investigations into the cause of death of the person who lost his life are continuing and noted that cough and vomiting were seen in some of those brought to the hospital.
Joshua urged parents to stop referring their children to local doctors, and urged them to quickly refer them to the hospital if they see any signs of illness.
