Residents of Gashua, the headquarters of Bade Local Government Area of Yobe State, have continued to express concern over the persistent deaths linked to Chronic Kidney Disease, a situation that has devastated families and raised serious public health questions across the community.
The residents lamented that the disease, which has plagued Gashua and surrounding communities for decades, continues to claim lives despite repeated appeals to authorities for intervention.
As a result, many have described CKD as a “silent killer” that often goes undetected until it reaches an advanced stage.
Speaking with Arewa PUNCH, Hamza Muhammad Tasi’u, a resident of Gashua, said the disease has taken the lives of several people close to him. Punch
