The Oyo State government has recorded two suspected cases of Cholera.
Dr. Oluwaserimi Ajetunmobi, the Commissioner for Health had confirmed this on Saturday.
Ajetunmobi has made this revelation during her visit to a private hospital in Ibadan where the two suspected cholera cases were admitted and receiving treatment.
She had used the opportunity of the hospital visit to call on the residents to be more vigilant.
The health commissioner had also charged the residents to appropriate precautionary measures to prevent the spread of a potential cholera outbreak in the state.
Cholera is a bacterial infection spread by eating and drinking food or water contaminated by the feces (poop) of an infected person and the health commissioner had explained that it was a highly infectious disease that causes severe acute watery diarrhoea with severe dehydration.
Finally, she revealed that the two suspected cases in Ibadan have been traced to Lagos and were both tracked down to a private facility in the state to male workers at a construction site in Lekki Peninsula from Lagos State.
