Death In Azare Town Was Caused By Heatwave Not Coronavirus- Bauchi State Government

The Bauchi state government has come out to reveal the cause behind the deaths in Azare town of the state. The state government revealed that the deaths in the town was not caused by the coronavirus but by an heatwave in the state.

The state deputy governor Senator Baba Tela revealed this yesterday and implored the public to disregard all false information circulating across social media. “On the issue of deaths that have been happening in Azare, we got different reports. Some people said five deaths have been recorded, others said 300 people died in the last two to three days. “I personally went and spoke to people who work at mortuary and bury people. I discovered that yes, there have been a number of deaths. This death is seasonal. It happens like that sometimes when it is very hot or cold. The same thing happened in Kano and Jigawa. We are all around the same axis. “But I can tell you and I am very sure, the number of deaths is nowhere near what people are saying.”
