The Lagos State government, under Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s leadership, has confirmed an outbreak of cholera at Kirikiri prison. According to State Health Commissioner Prof. Akin Abayomi, the government is collaborating with the World Health Organization (WHO) to address the situation.

Abayomi reported successful implementation of urgent medical and environmental interventions, including supplying Kirikiri medium prison with intravenous fluids and infection prevention supplies. The WHO has contributed 10,000 doses of pharmaceuticals for preventive measures among the prison’s approximately 3,200 inmates.

Efforts have also focused on resolving water and sanitation issues, with ongoing inspections across correctional facilities in Lagos. Abayomi identified unregulated street drinks and contaminated water sources as the root causes of the cholera outbreak, as discovered through environmental officials’ sampling.

Despite a recent increase, Abayomi noted a decline in daily cholera cases and no new deaths in the past 72 hours, attributing these improvements to effective interventions. He stressed the importance of adhering to public health guidelines.

The government’s “One Health” approach involves collaborating with the Lagos Water Corporation, LAWMA, and LASWAMO to enforce stricter regulations on local beverage production and improve sanitation. Abayomi announced enhanced sanitary standards for eateries, food handlers, and beverage manufacturers to prevent food and water-borne diseases.

He emphasized the need for continued vigilance, personal hygiene, and immediate medical attention for symptoms such as diarrhoea and vomiting. Treatment for suspected cholera remains free at government hospitals, reassuring the public and demonstrating confidence in ongoing efforts to manage and prevent the spread of cholera in Lagos.
