19 Children killed by measles complications in Adamawa


Sodiq Ojuroungbe

Complication from measles is suspected to have killed at least 19 children in Mubi North Local Government Area of Adamawa.

This was revealed by the Commissioner for Health, Mr Felix Tangwami in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Mubi on Saturday.

He revealed that more than 200 children in the local government area were already infected.

According to him, the outbreak was reported in Yola on Saturday, leading to a quick mobilisation of health workers and drugs to affected communities.

He assured that children with severe infections would be referred to hospitals.

The commissioner said the medical team would move from Mubi to Gombi Local Government Area where another outbreak had been reported.

He, however, blamed the outbreak on the refusal of parents to immunise their children for the outbreak
