The reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_{0}$ is calculated using the next generation matrix approach. Then stability analysis on the equilibrium points were established using Routh-Hurwitz criteria. It was revealed that the disease-free equilibrium point is locally asymptotically stable whenever $\mathcal{R}_{0}$ is less than 1 together with other conditions. We also showed that $\mathcal{R}_{0}\leq 1$ does not guarantee global stability of the typhoid-free equilibrium point and corroborated the result by showing the possible existence of backward bifurcation at $\mathcal{R}_{0}=1$. The model parameters in $\mathcal{R}_{0}$ were also subjected to sensitivity analysis, which revealed that transmission rate, infection through exposed and bacteria are the most influential parameters of the reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_{0}$. Numerical simulations were run to determine the impact of various parameters on the dynamics of Typhoid.
