Not Afraid Of Lassa? See The Big Rat These Guys Killed, Roasted & Ate In Abuja (Photos)

Read according to the guy below…

Few minutes ago, While drinking water before I left a garden somewhere in Garki Abuja‎ where I just had lunch.

I saw 3 young men holding a huge live rat they just caught in the garden.

Out of curiosity, I asked them if they were aware of Lassa fever and to my greatest surprise they knew nothing of such.

From a distance, I watched them slaughter the rat, smoke it and proceeded into the kitchen where the food I ate came from.

This is a clear evidence that the publicity and enlightenment campaign given to the disease is below sufficient.

I'm starting to believe what a caller on radio said some days back; that unlike Ebola, the poor are more vulnerable to Lassa fever hence the government won't give it adequate attention.‎

Meanwhile, I just had lunch in this garden, and starting to get worried if I may have contacted the disease, and I'm picking up my daughter from school in another 2 hours.

Please guys can one get tested for Lassa fever like you get tested for HIV???

He said if banks had not taken the decision to restrict the use of the ATM cards abroad, some of them would current be experiencing challenges meeting the overseas demand of their customers.May GOD help Us..
