Seven persons died initially on Saturday, but as of Monday, seven more deaths were confirmed, raising the fatality to 14.

The New Artisan market, which is dominated by cattle sellers from the northern part of the country, is a busy market for dairy products.

Residents confirmed that they only defecate in polythene bags and dump the contents in open trenches and pools of floodwater which many of the residents use to take their baths.The health director said the state government has launched an aggressive sensitisation campaign for residents to take precautionary steps towards preventing further spread.

He, however, said a fresh case of the disease was reported Monday morning, indicating the possibility of a further spread if residents do not take caution. Cholera, a diarrheal disease that kills within hours if it is not treated, is endemic in Nigeria, with outbreaks reported as far back as the 1970s.The ongoing outbreak, which began at the start of this year, has been confirmed in the federal capital territory and 15 states- Benue, Delta, Zamfara, Bauchi, Kano, Nigeria, FCT, Cross rivers, Niger, Kaduna, Plateau, Nassarawa, Gombe, Bayelsa and Kebbi.
