fear of what looks like an epidemic, he said the government can only
bring words of consolation to the families of the deceased just as he
assured the people of the state of the government’s resolve to find
solution.
“It must be said that the team was despatched to the communities affected and the General Hospital as well as other health facilities, to gather needed information about the nature, scope and circumstances of the outbreak.
“I must state that the symptoms in this situation are not peculiar to any known epidemic and so have remained largely confounding.
“Specifically, it must be stressed, the symptoms observed in the two communities of Ayadi and Ode Irele bear no resemblance to those associated with the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD)”, he said.
A similar mysterious ailment also claimed the lives of 5 students of Kanta Unity College, Argungu, Kebbi State.
