Still not officially confirmed, but independently, reliably verified, that there has been d death of a medical personnel from the ebola virus in Port Harcourt.
Will update as soon as confirmed.


On a side note, thought the Hon. minister announced that ebola has been successfully contained? ?!

God Help us n these politicians.

If this is an attempt at a joke, it is sick.

Having said that, was the dead person in anyway linked to either of the index case, secondary contacts or what? Has the person traveled to any of the ebola hit countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone, and or Guinea?.

Who confirmed that it was a ebola caused death, have there been tests on the dead person's serum/blood?

Lots of questions to ask
