EBOLA: Result of test conducted on the 7month old baby who was suspected to have contacted the August disease has been confirmed to be nagative. I am informing all members of this network that EBOLA is not in ILORIN.

It has been confirmed that the samples collected from the alleged young Ebola victim in Ilorin recently, have been medically certified to be completely negative to the dreaded disease.

The report, which was announced tonight by the Committee set up by the Kwara State government on Ebola prevention and control, maintained that the outcome of the laboratory examination on all the samples collected on the young patient, were unconnected and unrelated to Ebola virus disease, thereby sealed up the previously rumour and unfounded insinuation that the kid patient must have contacted Ebola.

Although, the affected kid patient has been reportedly dead, his death has nothing to do with Ebola but out of complications arising from the first treatment received. Therefore, the situation still remained that no traces of Ebola emergence in Kwara State.
