An outbreak of Lassa fever has claimed the life of Mr Henry Ehimati, a male nurse working with Okomu Oil Palm Company staff clinic, located in Ovia South-West Local Government Area of Edo.
The victim, said to be in his 30s and married with a child, worked at the clinic, but lived with his family at Upper Sakponba area of Benin whenever he was off duty.
