A medical doctor working with the World Health Organization (WHO) in Benue State, Dr Samuel Nyityo, has died of lassa fever in the state.
State Commissioner for Health and Human Services, Professor Joseph Ngbea, confirmed his death.
Against the insinuation that another person also died alongside the doctor, the commissioner said that only the medical doctor had so far died of lassa fever in the state.
He added that one other patient is said to be in a stable condition.
