A hospital has been sealed off and its workers and patients quarantined due to an Ebola disease scare in Anambra State today.

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.

The body SHOULD have been tested before it left Lagos. So who knows how many times the coffin was OPENED (to check it did contain a corpse and not drugs) before reaching Anambra State.

We really have to work hand in hand with immigration and put our shoddy "wetin concern me" attitude to rest!

An outbreak of Ebola in Nigeria will batter us more than what the BK are doing.
