Boko Haram: Measles Outbreak in Adamawa IDP's Camps

Adamawa State confirmed yesterday the outbreak of measles in some IDPs camps in the state.

The Executive Secretary, Adamawa State Emergency Management Agency, Mr. Haruna Furo, confirmed the development to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Yola.

Furo, however, said that there was no dead recorded.

“There is outbreak of measles not just in the IDPs camps, but also within the community,” said the Furo.

He listed the affected camps as the NYSC Camp at Bajabure, Girei and Malkohi camps in Girei and Yola North local government areas.

He attributed the outbreak to the daily mass movement and influx of new IDPs from Borno and Cameroonian mountains into the various camps.
