Acting Statistician-General in the state, Olusola Ajayi made the revelation in Akure, the Ondo State capital while addressing workers of the state’s waste management authority.

Ajayi described the 112 confirmed cases and deaths of 12 persons as alarming development.

The ASG, however, called on the workers of Ondo State Waste Management Authority to brace up and collaborate with other stakeholders in the health sector towards ensuring a healthy environment as part of ways to reduce the menace.

According to him, “We are together in that business. We have to act fast now because of this data that I’m going to give you. In Ondo State today, there are 353 reported cases of Lassa fever, 112 have been confirmed, 12 bodies have died. So, if we want to act, the time is now.”
