Confirming the incident, the State’s Commissioner for Health, Dr. Moses Ekuma, revealed that more than 20 other persons from the area were hospitalised for suspected cholera infection.

He said the infected persons were rushed to three hospitals in the area by the state government in collaboration with the local government authorities and health partners.

The health facilities where the patients were receiving treatment include; Sudan United Mission Hospital, Onuenyim Agbaja; Sudan United Mission Hospital in Izziogo, and Izziogo Health Centre.

The Commissioner blamed the outbreak on poor hygienic practices by the people. He urged them to adopt good hygienic practices such as stoppage of open defecation, washing their hands regularly, covering their food and drinking clean water.
