Another victim, in whose house eight people were affected, said he is completely devastated.
He added that some of the affected family members, that include his wife, mother, and children, cannot even stand on their feet as a result of the severity of the disease.
He complained that he has so far spent N100,000 between Rogo Hospital and Gwarzo Hospital without any fruitful result.
A staff of the village clinic, who wants to remain anonymous, said that the disease is beyond what they can handle at the clinic, that was why the victims were referred to Rogo Hospital.
