On Thursday , the Anambra Commissioner of Health, Josephat Akabuike, announced on that a hospital has been sealed off and its workers and patients quarantined due to Ebola disease scare ,Premium Times reports.


Briefing journalists in the state's capital , Awka, Akabuike said the state government took action following the information received 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 Police Command in the state have been directed by the state's governor to cordon off the place until the necessary tests were carried out.

Nigerians and their nonsense. How come the authorities allowed the corpse to travel all the way from Libera, Lagos and then Anambra? Shouldn't they have cremated the body in Libera? Does it mean no one alerted the authorities until the corpse got to Anambra? We'r only living at the mercy of God.

Na wa oh . . . .I blame whatever hospital that released that corpse.

The person should have been buried in liberia.

Or cremated and his ashes sent for burial (people in the village will understand)

Say the funeral went ahead, how many people would be infected paying their last respects?

SMH,

Sincere9gerian: We're only living at the mercy of God.

Too bad that God tends to withhold assistance from people who engage in idiotic behavior, such as transporting virus-infected corpses across national borders in total defiance of all common sense.

We have NOT heard the last of this matter, due to the incubation period of the Ebola virus varying from one to 3 weeks in newly infected victims.

FFS. why bring a dead man from that deadly country who died from the deadly virus to Nigeria for Christ sake
The govt we curse almost in every thread are trying hard to protect us from this virus but yet for some reasons I don't know a family would rather take the risk of spreading the virus to the whole country, just to give there brother a " befitting" burial.
Clear indication that we are the cause of our problems.

SMH

What type of carelessness is this?? Putting the lives of people at risk. Too bad.

Not in Anambra o o!!

You can never see my comment on any e-bola thread!

Not again.

The ineptitude of Nigerians and the authorities is indescribably alarming!!

How in the world could they allow a corpse into the country from Liberia with all that is happening in the region right now??

Sometimes things like this make me wanna think the white man could be right calling blacks "monkeys"!!

Can you just imagine the rubbish!! What part of the word "caution" don't our airport and immigration officials understand

So pissed right now!

Bringing the corpse back ?
