One of the National Youth Service Corps members currently doing their orientation in Ekiti slumped and collapsed at the orientation camp.
Rather than his colleagues coming to his rescue, they all ran thinking the guy might have contacted the Ebola Virus.
It took the intervention of camp officials and the Ekiti State Ministry of Health before he was rescued.
It was discovered that he was suffering from chronic fever.
To be sure of his correct state of health, his blood samples were taken and sent to Lagos.
He did not test positive to the Ebola Virus.
The corps member has since been taken away from the camp and is currently being kept at an isolated centre located within Oba Adejugbe General Hospital, Ado-Ekiti.

This is very grave news for Nigeria.

Very bad indeed is the news, as it suggests that the Ebola virus is making silent inroads into ALL parts of Nigeria. The colleagues of the fallen youth corps members must ALL be tested for Ebola as a matter of great urgency, and those who test positive isolated right away.

Corps Members Abandon Sick
Colleague As Ebola Scare Hits Ekiti
The Ekiti State Government on Friday
described as untrue reports that a youth corps
member, who slumped at the orientation
camp at Ise/Emure Ekiti, had contracted the
dreaded Ebola virus.

The state Commissioner for Health, Prof.
Olusola Fasuba, said that the corps member
(names witheld), who was posted to serve in
the state was only suffering of chronic fever.
He advised residents not to mistake common
ailments, such as chronic fever for the
dreaded Ebola virus.

Fasuba spoke at an awareness forum in Ado-
Ekiti, following the speculations in the state
that Ebola virus had hit some towns.

“Although, information reaching my office
from the ministry of youth and sports
confirmed that a particular male corps
member collapsed at the orientation camp.

“But, it was unfortunate that people around
him ran away taking his sickness for the
dreaded Ebola virus.

“Immediately I received the information, I
swung into action by ensuring that the sick boy
was immediately attended to by a team of
health workers.

“They later discovered that he was suffering
from chronic fever, the information they
passed to me without wasting time.

“But, I did not stop at that, at least to be sure
of his correct state of health, his blood
samples were taken and sent to Lagos.

“We received the results on Thursday
indicating that he tested negative to the Ebola
virus.

“The corps member has been taken away from
the camp and is currently being kept at our
isolated centre located within Oba Adejugbe
General Hospital, Ado-Ekiti.

“As I speak, I assure residents that the health
of the boy in question is already improving,
while he continue to show signs of good
health far from Ebola,” he explained.

Fasuba warned rumour mongers to desist
from spreading false information that could
mislead or scare people, saying that
government had taken pro-active measures to
prevent the virus from spreading to the state.

He listed such steps to include banning of
movement of uncertified dead bodies into the
state, constitution of 30 technical committees
and creation of three isolated centres in Ado-
Ekiti, Okemesi-Ekiti and Ifaki-Ekiti.
