Rabid dog attacks 18 in Kano Community








原文原文 / Original Text

At least 18 people have reportedly been bitten by a dog suspected to have contracted rabies in Garko Local Government Area of Kano State.

Following the incident, the Nigerian Forest Security Service (NFSS), Garko Division, has launched a search operation for the dog and two others suspected to have been infected with the disease.

The NFSS Kano State Command, in a statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, CSF Usman Abdullahi Umar, said the incident followed a distress report received by its Garko office.

According to the statement, the dog initially attacked and bit 11 people in Garko town before moving to neighbouring communities.

It said seven other people were subsequently bitten in Raba, Kadage, Gurjiya and Dausai communities, bringing the reported number of victims to 18.

The Service said two additional dogs were also suspected to have contracted rabies, raising concerns about the possible spread of the disease among animals and residents.

Following the reports, NFSS officers, under the leadership of the Divisional Forest Officer, Auwalu Muhammad, were deployed to the affected communities to locate and neutralise the suspected infected dogs.

The Service said the operation was aimed at preventing further attacks and containing the potential spread of rabies in the affected areas.
