The centre said the predominant age group affected by Lassa fever was 21-30 years.
The report was based on case-based data retrieved from the National Lassa Fever Emergency Operations Centre.
The commander further said that the committee consisted of traditional rulers from the various LGAs, stakeholders, and officers of OPSH.
