Cholera: six confirmed dead in Lagos
Six people have died of cholera in Isolo Local Government Area of Lagos State after eating contaminated Abacha, a local delicacy of the people of the South-East geopolitical zone.
The Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris, who briefed the press about the development at the state’s secretariat on Thursday, stated that 39 other persons were under observation and receiving treatment at public and private health facilities in Isolo.
Cholera is an acute diarrhoea disease with or without vomiting caused by a bacteria referred to asvibro cholerae and it is transmitted through ingestion of food or water contaminated with infected faeces.
Idris, who stated that seven out of the 15 samples taken to the Public Health Laboratory, Yaba, after an upsurge of diarrhoea cases was reported in some communities in Isolo, tested positive to vibro cholerae.
He stated, “Six deaths were recorded among the 45 cases. Majority of the patients did not present with the classical rice-water stool, rather they presented with atypical diarrhoea and vomiting.
“After a thorough analysis of the ano-rectal swabs that were collected from 15 cases, vibrio choleraewas confirmed and found to be the Ogawa strain of the virus.
“Twenty-two of the 26 that were being managed at the Isolo General Hospital and the Lagos Mainland Hospital have been discharged, one died, while three are still on admission at the Lagos Mainland Hospital. The three patients are still on admission but they are in stable condition.”
The commissioner noted that water and food analysis done at the Lagos State Drug Quality Control Laboratory showed that Abacha, a local salad, that was eaten by many of the victims, was the source of the infection.
Idris said, “The main suspected source of infection is the salad called Abacha, a staple food that is consumed regularly in the area. Samples of the local salad and the well water they consume in the area revealed the presence of vibrio cholerae, Salmonella species and E.coli in Abacha and the water sample taken from one of the two wells in the area.”

A 24 year old Nigerian man named Obinna Ezeoke has been
charged with double murder after the shooting of a mother-
of-nine Annie Besala Ekofo, 53, and her nephew Bervil
Kalikaka-Ekofo, 21.
Annie and Bervil were gunned down at a flat in East Finchley,
north London, on 15 September shortly after 6.30am.
Scotland Yard said Ezeoke, of no fixed address, is to appear
in custody at Hendon magistrates court in north-west London
on Wednesday. Obina Ezeoke is accused of killing Annie and
Bervil.
It is feared their deaths were a case of mistaken identity, with

Four other people, including a child, were inside the flat in
Elmshurst Crescent at the time of the attack but were not
harmed.
