Aftermath Of Ebola:60 Nigerian Quarantined In Cameroon by borie4u(m): 11:57am On Sep 08, 2014
The Cameroonian government has quarantined 60 Nigerians in its South-West region over the fear of the disease spreading to the country.A report by a Cameroonian online newspaper, cameroon-info.net, said the sixty Nigerians were quarantined in the Ekok, Ekondo, and Titi communities in the country’s South-West region close to the border with Nigeria.The country’s Minister of Health, Dr. Lukong Bay, said that there would be a restriction of movement of people from Nigeria and other countries affected by the disease to Cameroon as from Tuesday, September 2, 2014.It was also stated in the report that the Nigerians would be released after 21 days of surveillance.The report said, “This is a new delight that perhaps the minister of health has expected Tuesday afternoon in this region for a working session with the persons responsible for the implementationof the response plan on Ebola disease in the ports of Limbe and Tiko.“As part of preventive measures against the epidemic in West Africawith nearly 1,500 deaths already recorded, the South-West, which borders with Nigeria, is considered one of the parts of the country that require a closer monitoring.”

I honestly don't blame them. We are talking about border control here to prevent the spread of ebola and they are doing same. They are just being proactive where we are reactive.
