 A 13-year-old Florida boy lost his life inside of a tube slide at a playground, leaving behind a shocked and grief-stricken family. The heartbreaking discovery was made when a father took his two children to Shenandoah Park in Miami on September 25th to work out some energy.  What they discovered when trying to use the tube slide may keep these young children from ever playing in an enclosed slide again. 13-year-old Olvin Ballladares was inside of the slide ...and unresponsive.  According to reports, Olvin had gone to the park that morning instead of school. While at the park, Olvin had attempted to slide down the tube slide. While traveling down the slide, Olvin's shirt became caught on a screw and pulled tight around his neck, cutting off his supply to oxygen.  From the way that he was discovered, it appears Olvin had realized what was happening and tried to free himself but was unable.

 Abia State Assures Residents of No Lassa Fever Cases, Intensifies Border Surveillance



The Abia State Government has reassured residents that no cases of Lassa Fever have been recorded in the state, despite confirmed outbreaks in some other parts of the federation.


The assurance was given by the Commissioner for Information, Prince Okey Kanu, during a press briefing at Government House, Umuahia, on Monday, following the weekly Executive Council meeting chaired by Governor Alex Otti.


Kanu stated that the Ministry of Health and relevant agencies have intensified surveillance efforts, particularly at all border towns connecting Abia to neighboring states, to prevent any potential spread of the disease.


“In the state, Lassa Fever which has broken out in some parts of the federation has not been noticed here,” he said. “The Ministry of Health staff and other relevant agencies are working assiduously to make sure that all border towns leading into the state are kept under surveillance.”


The commissioner emphasized the government's proactive measures to safeguard public health amid ongoing concerns about infectious diseases across the country.


In the same briefing, the state government clarified misconceptions surrounding the Senior Citizens Law No. 4, signed into law by Governor Otti.


The government denied reports suggesting the law was designed to distribute monthly cash payments to elderly residents.


Instead, Kanu explained that the legislation focuses on providing comprehensive social services and support for vulnerable aged persons aged 60 and above.


These include food and nutrition assistance, health support, provision of gifts and housing aid, as well as mental health care and other forms of welfare to ensure dignity and inclusion for senior citizens.
