Two persons have reportedly died in a Cholera outbreak at Ofenekpa Inyimagu, Ikwo Local Government Area of Ebonyi.

There has been a cholera outbreak in some communities in Ikwo in the last one month with over 19 persons killed.

The member representing Ikwo/Ezza South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Chinedu Ogah intervened in the outbreak which has stopped the disease.

Regrettably, on Saturday, two persons died in the outbreak of the virus in the Ofenekpa community.

Ogah, the Deputy Chairman House Committee on Poverty Alleviation, has mobilised a Medical team, led by Dr Chukwu Okwudiri of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, and Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team (AMURT AMURT), to intervene in the outbreak which has killed not less than two indigenes of the community.

Recall that since December, there has been a cholera outbreak in some local government area of the State including Ishielu, Afikpo North LGA which numerous number of lives has been lost due to the disease.
