Anambra Hospital Sealed Over Ebola Virus Scare

Anambra State’s ministry of health, has sealed off a hospital and its patients over an Ebola Virus scare breakout.

According to the Anambra Commissioner of Health,

Josephat Akabuike, the measure followed information

received by the government that a man whose body was

brought back from Liberia at the weekend, might have died

of the killer disease. He said that information available to

the government indicated that the body was brought back

from Liberia through Lagos and deposited in the mortuary

at Nkwelle-Ezenaka in Oyi Local Government of the state.

“Part of the briefing is to tell you what we are doing

to make sure we don’t allow the deadly virus to come

into the state. What actually called for this is that we

have a report that a corpse was brought through

Lagos and the deceased was said to have been taken

from Liberia where of course you know there are

cases of the disease.

The corpse was said to have been brought to Nigeria

and deposited somewhere in Nkwelle-Ezunaka and

the ministry was alerted and that is why we are

taking all these measures.”

The commissioner said that Governor Willie Obiano had

already directed the Police Command in the state to cordon

off the place until the necessary tests were carried out. He

further said that Federal Government had also sent medical

experts from the Federal Ministry of Health, Abuja, to

Anambra to carry out the test at the hospital premises.
