About 850 Nigerian soldiers on peacekeeping mission in Liberia are to be quarantined for 28 days when they return to the country in March 2015.

A source  told Punchng  that the Army personnel were scheduled to return to the country in January but that their arrival would be delayed till March 2015. He said
“You know that our soldiers in Liberia are to return to the country from two mission areas, Liberia and Sudan.“The men of the Nigerian Army Battalion 43, in Sudan, will arrive in the country in December, and may be allowed to go their units on arrival in the country.
“But the arrival of their counterparts from Liberia, who were initially supposed to arrive in the country in January, will be delayed. The UN has not approved their movement so they will leave Liberia for Nigeria in March.
“Another thing is that even when they arrive in the country, they will be kept at a military barracks being built at Gwagwalada for 28 days before they are released to go to their units.
“I think the authorities are just being careful; there is no intent to demoralise anybody because we all know the dangers of this Ebola Virus Disease.
“With the arrangement, only medical personnel would be allowed access to them.
“You know that the World Health Organisation has declared Nigeria Ebola free so all efforts would be made to keep that status,”
