State Coordinator, Civil Society in Malaria Control, Immunization and Nutrition (ACOMIN), Olasunkanmi Kalejaiye, lamented that carrying out malaria interventions amidst the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic presents several challenges.

While addressing Journalists over the weekend, Kalejaiye said that inadequate provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for health workers particularly at PHCs have left them exposed and as such they may not be able to provide optimal service as required.

According to him “we are calling on Governments at all levels to increase funding for malaria interventions; improve and upgrade health facilities across the State. Purchase and distribute adequate Medical equipment to Health Facilities.

“Government should provide sufficient beddings and mattresses. Our challenges are non allocation of resources and specific budgets for malaria interventions. Inadequate human resources; dilapidating and abandonment of health facilities.”

Furthermore, he said low health seeking behavior on the part of the community members is worrisome, as such some people still d not believe the Coronavirus exist and so, they disregard COVID-19 prevention guidelines.

Kalejaiye while calling on the people to abide by the guidelines put in place to further reduce community infection by using face mask and practicing social distancing.

Residents of a Lagos estate were left in shock on Thursday night after a young woman, Deborah Porsche, popularly known as Debporsche, was allegedly murdered by her ex-boyfriend, identified simply as Lintex, nearly a year after their breakup. According to reports, Lintex had repeatedly threatened Deborah since their split in August 2024, allegedly vowing: “If I don’t have you, nobody will. If I no marry you, blood go flow.” Deborah’s sister described her as a hardworking interior decorator who had just completed her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). She further alleged that the deceased endured emotional abuse throughout her relationship with Lintex, which ultimately pushed her to walk away. On the night of the attack, the suspect disguised himself as a dispatch rider in an attempt to infiltrate the estate. Security guards reportedly stopped him at the gate, but he scaled the fence and gained entry to Deborah’s apartment. Eyewitnesses said Lintex first tampered with the gas cylinder line outside the apartment, allegedly trying to cause an explosion. When that failed, he forced his way inside and stabbed Deborah multiple times with a knife he brought along. Alarmed neighbours rushed to the scene and alerted the police. The suspect was subdued and handed over to law enforcement officers. Police authorities have confirmed the incident, stating that investigations are ongoing. Deborah’s tragic death has sparked outrage online and renewed calls for stronger legal protections for women against abusive and obsessive partners.
