Not less than 19 children have reportedly died from suspected measles complications in Mubi North Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
This was disclosed by the state Commissioner for Health, Mr Felix Tangwami, while briefing Journalists on Saturday, April 27.
He also said more than 200 children in the local government area were already infected.
According to him, the outbreak was reported in Yola on Saturday, leading to a quick mobilisation of medics and drugs to affected communities, assuring that children with severe infections would be referred to hospitals.
Tangwani who blamed the refusal of parents to immunise their children against infection or outbreak, added that the medical team would move from Mubi to Gombi Local Government Area, where another outbreak had been reported.
