The Sokoto State Government has confirmed nine deaths due to what an official described as suspected cases of gastroenteritis in seven local government sreas of the state.

Gastroenteritis results when a person’s stomach and intestines are irritated and inflamed. The cause is typically a viral or bacterial infection, experts say.

The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Health, Mr. Mustapha Ali, on Friday in Sokoto, listed six of the affected LGAs as Illela, Sabon-Birni, Gada, Goronyo, Isa and Tureta.

Many residents have been killed and ay least 50 others kidnapped by bandits during attacks on several communities in Sokoto State. It was gathered that some of the communities attacked are located in Goronyo, Gada and Sabon Birni Local Government Areas of the state. The bandits were said to have invaded the communities in large numbers, shooting sporadically, and causing many residents to sustain various degrees of injuries. In a chat, a resident of Sabon Birni LGA, Lukman Iliyasu, said the attacks took place between Monday and Wednesday. He said the communities were invaded for three days over failure to meet the compulsory peace levy on them, adding that several people were killed and others were kidnapped during the attacks.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that most of the LGAs border the Niger Republic.

Ali stated that the situation is under control, as the state and Federal Government officials have been deployed to the affected areas, while medications and other aids have also been made available.

He, however, debunked the claims that it was an outbreak of cholera, noting that experts have since taken samples for laboratory tests, in line with standard practice.

According to the PS, preliminary investigations reveal that the deaths may be due to the consumption of contaminated water, as rain is at its peak in the affected areas.

Ali said 80 patients were hospitalised in Tureta town and its suburbs, adding that all the deaths are those recorded within the primary health care centres and hospitals.

Nonetheless, he insisted that it was irrational to attribute other deaths to the gastroenteritis, arguing that routine deaths occur daily naturally at different places.

Ali also confirmed the death of one person, which occurred at Internally Displaced Persons’ camp in Gandi village.

He cautioned people against unwholesome food and water consumption and urged hospital workers to be on the alert by living up to the expectations of their services.
