Despite Lassa fever warning, some Enugu residents continue to drink garri

A cross-section of the residents who spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Enugu said that they had not seen a Lassa Fever patient but only heard about it through the media.

Some residents of Enugu State have continued to drink cassava flakes, popularly called garri, despite cautions against it due to the resurgence of Lassa fever in some parts of the country.

Chigbo said that Lassa fever as a disease was not new to her, adding that it would not stop her from drinking garri.
