No Strange Death In Kogi - Health Commissioner, Saka Audu


 Kogi state health commissioner, Saka Audu has debunked claim of strange deaths being recorded in the state following an alarm raised by the lawmaker representing Olamaboro Constituency in the Kogi State House of Assembly, Ujah Anthony Alewo. 


 


In an interview on Channels Television programme 'Sunrise Daily', he disclosed that 43 people died of the strange illness and the affected community is located in a border town in Enugu State.


 


Audu said; 


 


“Those deaths, I know 46 people are confirmed to have died on the side of Enugu State. I have been in contact with the Commissioner for Health in Enugu State, we have discussed the issue and shared ideas. No such illness on Kogi side of the divide. No Death has occurred in our own region.


“However, we have alerted all the health stakeholders. We have communicated with the traditional ruler of Olamabaro Local Government Area."


 


Also dismissing claim of no hospital in the community, the health commissioner insisted that there is primary healthcare in the affected Local Government.


 


Audu added; 


 


“We have a ‘cottage’ hospital and a general hospital in the same local government. You cannot expect every community to have a tertiary institution but at least we have primary healthcare there."
