A strange disease outbreak has reportedly killed at least 30 people and hospitalized more than 20 people in a remote town in Taura Local Government Area of Jigawa State.
According to Vanguard, the deceased victims suddenly developed severe headache and body pains before losing consciousness.
One of the parents, who lost four children to the strange disease, said: “Within 24 hours, I lost two male and two female children. The children—aged between 16 and 20 years— died one after the other.”
Another parent, Kamai Ali Majia, whose two children affected by the disease are currently receiving treatment at Taura General Hospital, slammed the order by district representatives in the state House of Assembly that asked them to travel 30 kilometres to access medical facility, when he knew they do not have the means.
