Lassa Fever! Benue Suspends Eating Of Rats

The Benue State Government has
asked its citizens to stop eating rats
in the meantime in order to curtail
the spread of Lassa Fever in the
State.


Samuel Ortom, the state governor,
said this to State House
correspondents shortly after meeting
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the
Presidential Villa, Abuja. Ortom said
the decision was taken because the
state had recorded a case of the
fever.


Rat is a delicacy popular among the
people of the state.
