Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Six people have died while 40 others are currently hospitalised due to the cholera outbreak in the Jukun community of Didango, in Karim Lamido Local Government Council of Taraba State.<\/p>\n

Sunday Danjos, the chairman of the council, revealed this distressing news over the weekend during a press briefing in Jalingo, the state capital.<\/p>\n

Urging patience from the affected community, he said: \u201cI want to call on my people to exercise patience with the current happenings, particularly in Jukun, Didango, of Karim Lamido Local Government.\u201d<\/p>\n

Explaining further, Danjos said: \u201cThe pandemic is cholera; this is because of the bad water people drink. They drink it together with animals, so this has caused a problem for their health, as they are purging and vomiting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am going now to see the Commissioner of Health to report to him what is happening in my local government so that he will take it to the higher authority for necessary action.\u201d<\/p>\n

The outbreak, according to locals, began on Thursday when people, especially children, started experiencing stooling.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner for Health, Dr Bodiya Buma, confirmed the incident, assuring that the state government is actively working to control the matter.<\/p>\n

Fredrick Nyanganji, the Director of Primary Health Care of Karim Lamido Local Government, revealed that the outbreak which occurred on December 14, 2023, had claimed the lives of six children.<\/p>\n
