Strange disease: Kano dispatches team to affected area

Kano state government said it had dispatched a Rapid Response Team to check the authenticity of a reported outbreak of a strange killer disease in Dawakin Tofa local government area of the state.
The Commissioner for Health, Kabiru Getso, made this known through the Public Relations Officer of the ministry, Isma’il Gwammaja, yesterday in Kano.
He said the story of the reported outbreak of the strange disease was reported through the media and that prompted the commissioner to direct the rapid response team to swing into action with a view to ascertaining the veracity of the report.
Getso, however, revealed that as soon as the ministry received details on the findings of the team, it would be made known to members of the public.
NAN reports that on Monday evening, some media outfits in the state reported that a strange disease had claimed the lives of eight persons in Dungurawa community in Dawakin Tofa.
