Lassa Fever Is Back And Here’s What You Need To Know about the deadly Virus

So, Lassa fever is back. Again. All the warnings sound like big big grammar, so we are going to try to simplify it.

So, what does this mean?
Lassa fever is a viral illness caused by rats. It is usually found in parts of West Africa including Liberia, Guinea, and Nigeria. The animal in charge of spreading it is called a multimammate rat.

Okay. What are the symptoms?
Not everyone infected by the virus has symptoms. When it occurs, it comes with fever, weakness, vomiting, headache. Less common symptoms include bleeding from the mouth or eye. Also, deafness has been reported.

Hmmm. How do people get infected?
It can be spread by eating food contaminated by faeces and urine of the rat that spreads it. If you come in contact with clothing soiled by the rat’s faeces you can also get infected. Exposure to air contaminated by rat faeces is another risk factor. ie sweeping areas where the excrements are found. This is my new excuse to ditch house chores – E go be.

Ah. Okay. How does this concern me?
Like any illness, getting affected by it will greatly stress the quality of your life and your wallet. Not to scare you but there’s also the increased risk of death associated with this illness.

So, what can I do?
Till we get an all-clear from relevant health authorities, you should try to ensure regular hand washing with clean water and soap as many times as possible. Also, if you can avoid eating at mama put during this period, do so. Proper food storage – if you steal meat from the pot, ensure you cover it well afterwards. Store foodstuff in plastic containers. Furthermore, proper hygiene should be practised to discourage rodent population. Regular cleaning and emptying of trash can help achieve this.

Is it…Is it….treatable?
Good news is that it is treatable, but you must present early to a proper hospital. Not a roadside chemist but a well-equipped hospital with actual certified doctors. Certified healthcare providers are the only ones capable of properly taking care of an infected person.

Please, give us a summary. Like cool tweetable points :
Lassa fever is named after the town in Nigeria where it was first discovered.
It is spread by rodents.
The symptoms include headache, fever, weakness.
It is treatable as long as you present on time to a qualified healthcare professional.
Proper hygiene is one of the best ways to prevent this illness.

A27-year-old SIM card hacker, Ayoola Olalekan, has said that he usually begged for God’s mercy before hacking into his victims’ bank accounts.

Olalekan, arrested by the Osun State Police Command and paraded alongside a robbery syndicate, said he never used charms or incantations.

Google/cybercrime
According to Nation, Ayoola, who had been parading himself as a hip-hop artist, admitted being a hacker who withdrew money from his victims’ bank accounts using their SIM cards and bank verification numbers.

He said, “I dropped out when I was in Senior Secondary School, SS 2. My father took another wife, who was not treating me well, so I ran away from home. I then went to Lagos, where I was taught how to hack into people’s SIM cards and transfer money from their bank accounts.

“At a point, I went to learn aluminium, but I left the job to start this ‘Wire Wire job’ and it was paying me well. I got lots of money from the hacking job.

“There was a boy called Samuel. I didn’t know that he was into robbery. He called me one day that there was an iPhone 6X I needed to hack the SIM card. I went to meet him at Toll Gate in Ibadan. He told me that the phone had been with him for more than five days, that I needed to hack the SIM and transfer the money from the owner’s bank accounts.

“I checked the phone but I could not find any contact and the Bank Verification Number (BVN) of the victim. I logged into the iCloud account, but I could not find any clue to hack the bank account until I logged into the phone owner’s email address, where I saw the BVN. I input the BVN in my hacking software and saw the person’s name, date of birth and address. I registered the account and I started transferring his money from his bank accounts.”

The suspect said N500,000 was the highest amount of money he transferred at a go since he started his crime.

“I go to pastors and alfas (Muslim clerics) to pray. I go to mosques and churches to pray for God’s mercy before I start hacking into my victims’ bank accounts to withdraw their money. I have never done a charm in a herbalist’s house. I don’t have an incision on my body. It is not easy to get money. I never did any charm to hack into people’s accounts.

“If I go to a church and a mosque and the cleric asks me for my requests from God, I tell them that all I need is God’s mercy. I have faith in God’s mercy,” he said.
