Polio detected in Cross River community.

Report says signs of the disease were detected in one Anthony EDET EYIBIO, whose aunt said it was noticed when he was about three months old.

She noted that since the discovery of the symptoms in the child, he has remained without proper medical attention, as the only health facility in the area, seemed not to be able to handle the case.

However the Director General of the Cross River State Primary Health Care Development Agency, Doctor BETTA EDU, insists that Cross River State remains polio free.

EDU disclosed that a surveillance team has been called to get samples from the child in order to test and have a concrete cause of the partial paralysis.
