The Benue State Government says it has recorded 243 suspected cases of Lassa fever since January 2025, with 13 fatalities.


State Epidemiologist, Dr. Asema Msuega, disclosed that 18 of the cases were confirmed through laboratory testing.


“Of the deaths, five were from confirmed cases while eight were classified as probablesuspected patients who died before samples could be taken,” Msuega explained, adding that one of the victims was a health worker.


He noted that in August 2025, the state Ministry of Health partnered with the World Health Organisation (WHO) to launch a community intervention project in identified Lassa fever hotspots.


The initiative, he said, focuses on rodent control, environmental sanitation, and clean-up exercises.


It also includes community sensitisation and the training of health workers on case management and referral procedures.
