No fewer than two people were killed in a cholera outbreak at a facility where ex-Boko Haram fighters are being camped in Maiduguri, Borno State.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nThis is according to Zuwaira Gambo, the state Commissioner for women affairs and social development.<\/div>\n
\nGambo said health personnel have confirmed the loss of two lives to the disease.<\/p>\n

Debunking reports of several deaths recorded, she insisted that \u201conly two persons died\u201d, adding that the figures being quoted on the matter were \u201cunfounded\u201d.<\/p>\n

She said, \u201cI don\u2019t know where this figure is coming from, but I can assure you that what we have was only two deaths.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to her, officials from the state ministry of health have moved to the facility to fumigate the premises and evacuate others diagnosed with cholera for proper quarantine.<\/p>\n

\u201cOfficials from the health ministry have moved in; everyone is on the ground to ensure that the situation is brought under control,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Cholera is an acute diarrheal illness caused by infection of the intestine with Vibrio cholerae bacteria.<\/p>\n

People can get sick when they swallow food or water contaminated with cholera bacteria. The infection is often mild or without symptoms, but can sometimes be severe and life-threatening.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
