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.
