According to him, the water, in which the animals drowned, passed through the River Niger to some local government areas in Kebbi State.
Bagudu, while fielding questions from journalists at the Government House, said that the outbreak was as a result of flooding of the River Niger, which was contaminated by the dead animals. He said: “As a result of flooding, the state is experiencing this sad episode of cholera outbreak.
It is as a result of the contamination of water from Niger Republic through the River Niger. It was when I visited the country on behalf of President Muhammadu Buhari on a condolence visit to the Niger President, Muhammadu Yusuf, over the boat mishap, which claimed 25 lives that I was told by one of their ministers that no less than 16,000 animals died in the flood that ravaged the country.

Sad!
ReplyDeleteBut what really caused the outbreak? Death of.animals in the river, flooding or his failure to provide his state with portable drinking water? Because if the state had made portable drinking water the people would have had.no business consuming contaminated water.
