Many dead, 500 hospitalised after drinking juice in Kano





At least 10 persons have died and 400 hospitalised after drinking expired citric acid powdered drinks in Kano state.

Among those hospitalised are 50 patients undergoing kidney-related treatment, because of complications arising from the consumption of the killer drinks, Kano Commissioner for Health, Aminu Ibrahim Tsanyawa disclosed on Thursday.

Speaking in a video, which was made available to newsmen in Kano State Thursday, the Commissioner explained that the affected persons are being treated in government hospitals.

He cautioned residents on consumption of juice during the period of Ramadan, to avoid catastrophic consequences.

Tsanyawa, in his one minute, twenty-one seconds video message said: ”As you are aware, the Ministry of Health had in the recent past announced the outbreak of a strange disease traceable to the consumption of substandard juices.
