UNICEF Donates One Million Cholera Vaccines to Borno State
UNICEF has provided one million doses of cholera vaccines to the Borno State government to help protect residents from the disease. Prof. Baba Mallam, the state’s Commissioner for Health and Human Services, revealed this during the handover of 669,569 vaccine doses in Maiduguri.
Speaking through Fati Ali, Director of Disease Control and Immunisation at the Borno State Primary Healthcare Development Board, Mallam highlighted the timeliness of the initiative, especially after recent floods increased the risk of waterborne diseases.
He acknowledged UNICEF’s full support and urged residents to visit nearby healthcare facilities for vaccination. UNICEF’s Maiduguri Field Office Chief, Dr. Gerida Birukila, also encouraged the public to take the oral vaccine, assuring them it is safe and effective, particularly for those in crowded areas and children.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
