    "Out of a population of just over 2 millions it is estimated that not far short of 75 000 people are suffering from leprosy today , and the Province is one of the most heavily infected areas in the world.

A state of affairs approximating to this is actually in existence in a small number of clans, as follows: Bende clan, Ozuilem clan, Abam, Ndi Oji section, Abiriba clan, Nkporo villages, Oborodan."
