Reports that five new cases of the deadly Ebola Virus have been
detected in Lagos have been debunked by Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu,
Nigeria’s health minister.
In a statement released yesterday by his Special Assistant on Media and
Communications, Dan Nwomeh, the minster urged the media to disregard
all rumours of new cases of the virus. It read, “The Honourable Minister
of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu wishes to reiterate that at present,
Nigeria has only two confirmed cases of Ebola Virus Disease.”
Chukwu said the clarification became necessary following media reports
of five new cases in Lagos State, adding that the report should be
disregarded. He said: “However, as at 7 pm today, there is no other
confirmed Ebola Virus Disease case in Nigeria outside the two that are
currently under treatment at the isolation ward in Lagos.”
