A brother to one of the victims, Chief Austin Igwe Edeze, said the people
who attended the burial of a resident of the area came back and started
vomiting and defecating uncontrollably.
According to him, “nobody suspected that cholera was responsible for the
frequent vomiting and defecation by the people that attended the burial
ceremony.  So, when we noticed it was cholera that caused his vomiting and
stooling, we took him to the hospital and he died early in the morning.
“We raised the alarm to the Ministry of Health and the officials advised
that we should quickly bury him to avoid the disease spreading to other
people around and we obeyed and buried him immediately.
“The Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health sent a team which
visited us for enlightenment on the prevention of the disease and donated
some drugs after the lecture,’’ he said.
The state Epidemiologist, Dr. Onwe said the state health officials were
contacted by Chief Edeze, whose younger brother was among those that died
as a result of the epidemic.
He advised the residents to ensure personal and environmental hygiene to
avoid contracting the disease.
Onwe further advised them to ensure they buried victims immediately to
avoid spreading the epidemic as well as desist from drinking from streams.
