Commissioner for Health in Sokoto State, Dr. Ali Inname, says four persons have died and 56 hospitalised as a result of diarrhoea occasioned by water contamination in Sokoto, the state capital.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the incident occurred at Helele in Sokoto North Local Government area of the state.

Speaking with NAN on Wednesday, Inname attributed the incident to the drinking of contaminated water by people in the affected settlement, adding, however, that state government had contained the spread of the disease.

He said that the survivors had been placed on treatment at Helele and Kofar Rini Primary Healthcare Centres, as well as Sokoto Specialist Hospital.

The commissioner blamed the water contamination on illegal connection of water pipe and poor sewage system in Helele community.

He advised members of the community to desist from indiscriminate refuse dump and to ensure good hygiene.

Inname said investigation was still ongoing to unravel the source of the contamination, adding that residents were also being sensitised on the dangers of using such water.
