The Lagos State government has announced additional support from the World Health Organisation as it grapples with a cholera outbreak at Kirikiri prison.

Identifying the precise location of manufacture has proven difficult and the directorate of environmental health is planning to seal any such unregulated manufacture and make arrests of anybody involved with the manufacture or distribution of beverages without NAFDAC numbers,” Abayomi said.
He disclosed that while no new deaths attributable to cholera had been reported in the past 72 hours, the government was escalating efforts to eradicate transmission entirely.Don’t repeat Buhari’s mistake on appointments — Shehu Sani warns Tinubu
