The Government of Benue State on Thursday confirmed that two pregnant women and a man died in Makurdi, Benue State result of Lassa fever.

According to the Commissioner for Health and Human Services, Dr Cecilia Ojabo, one of the pregnant women was confirmed positive when her blood sample was sent to a specialist hospital in Irua area of Edo State.
She said the patient commenced treatment for Lassa fever at the Benue State University Teaching Hospital, Makurdi but died in the process of undergoing treatment.

“There was another instance of a young man, an indigene of Benue State who had Lassa fever and died in Lagos State.
“We were duly informed about his death and the corpse was thereafter transmitted back to Benue State for burial.”

Ojaba also disclosed that a patient from the Guma Local Government Area of the state manifested late symptoms of Lassa fever when he started bleeding from the nose, ears and mouth.

According to her, the victim was admitted to the Benue State University Teaching Hospital but before doctors could obtain his blood sample for the test at Irua, he died.

She confirmed that a second pregnant woman died “this morning” (Thursday) after showing symptoms of the disease.

“Just this morning, l got a report from the Federal Medical Centre, Makurdi that another suspected case of Lassa fever was recorded and they were advised to take the patient to the infection unit in the teaching hospital but on their way to the hospital, the patient died with her pregnancy,” Ojabo stated.

The commissioner said seven persons close to the victims had been quarantined.

Benue state needs special intervention

Oh

Nairalanddist:
We Yoruba Muslims do not believe in such diseases. Many of these victims are dying because they failed to follow Islamic teachings and instead embrace fornication and adultery caused by the absolute freedom Christians enjoy. Until the federal government enforce Islamic teachings in all schools in Nigeria, many of these diseases will keep springing up due to Allah's wrath

Oh my God you are really funny.
So a Muslim man don't use to fornicate abi?

See what herdment course

Benue State has been popular lately, but all for a wrong reason from their Governor donating Wheelbarrow as empowerment to the recent killings by Fulani Herdsmen to snake swallowing 36 million naira now it's Lassa Fever

Too many urgly news emanating from Benue State of recent.
Not good at all! Lord have mercy on your people.

Benue and bad news.

Lassa is just as bad as Ebola,, yet the government treats it with kids glove.
No commercials, no awareness, nothing!

I reckon if it were this administration that had to combat ebola, we might have reached Sierra Leone levels of crisis.

Op you made a mistake, you wanted to say Fulani herdsmen.
Everyday is for Nigeria politicians but one day will surely be for the masses.
Even if someone gets headache, na Fulani herdsmen cause am

Benue state and the negativity of life.
HIV/AIDS 1st
Lassa Fever 1st or 2nd
Herdsmen Killings 1st
Prostitution 1st
Looting via Animal 1st
Longest serving Senator 1st
Add urs

I think it is right time for govt to intervene, more than 5 States now has been affected or because is not northernna was oo

Why do they have to go all the way to Edo to run just Lassa fever test
Every state should have been fully equipped to handle this disease for crying out loud.

MY BENUE and bad news sef!

This is really a hard time for Benue people
