About 45 persons have reportedly lost their lives due to an outbreak of a mysterious illness in Gundutse village, Kura Local Government Area of Kano State.
It was gathered that the victims, mostly women, children, and elderly individuals, exhibited symptoms such as malaria, diarrhoea, and vomiting.
Residents expressed concerns about the sudden increase in deaths over the past two weeks, initially attributing them to common illnesses.
However, the situation became alarming when the community started burying five people daily, indicating a more significant health crisis.
Abu Sani, a resident who lost two children, said his family initially thought it was malaria affecting his two-year-old son, who sadly passed away despite medical intervention.
He said a week later, another family member fell unconsciously and also succumbed to the illness before reaching the hospital.
