The Nigerian Centre For Disease Control, NCDC have claimed that the students of the Waka-Biu College of Education, Borno who died shortly after visiting the Yankari Game Reserve in Borno were killed by a disease known as yellow fever.
The Agency made this known via a press statement, where it stated that after an investigation was carried out by the Kano team, it was established the outbreak had resulted from the visiting of a tourist and his father, a patient who visited the Yankari park sometimes in August. The father was reported to have died before a sample of the test could be collected.
NCDC also confirmed the death case of the students who were also said to have died after visiting the park, as a result of yellow fever infection.
They further stated that three of the cases have been reported in Bauchi in Alkaeri local government area, while one other case was reported of a man who visited from Kano.
