Cerebrospinal Meningitis, CRM, disease has hit Lagos State, killing two people as national death toll rises to 438, according to statistics released by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC on Friday. The statistics revealed that as 5 April, 2017, three cases were recorded in Lagos.

The NCDC said the apparent increase in number of cases was as a result of intensified case-finding going on in the affected States.
