People in Potiskum, Gashua and Nguru, three major towns in Yobe State, have continued to express concern over rising number of what is described as ‘mysterious’ deaths. A resident of Nguru told SaharaReporters that at least 12 people were buried daily in recent weeks.
Despite this, Yobe State Government officials have been claiming that the massive deaths were as a result of malaria and other seasonal ailments. The plan includes attacking those, who use any platform to ask for thorough investigation on daily loss of lives in the state. The sudden death of the ambulance driver of Gashua General Hospital escalated fear both in the hospital and in the town.
