Owerri, IMO State Records New Ebola Case! by Nely77(m): 7:01pm On Aug 31, 2014
A close relative o mine has confirmed a case of an Ebola death in Owerri, the IMO state capital. A man said to have come back from to Owerri from Lagos ill and was being treated until he showed the distinctive symptom of the dreaded disease an died. He was said to have started bleeding from his nose, ears, anus, ... And later died before the people around him could conclusively know that he had the disease. It was said that immediately they got to know, they locked his corpse up in the house and ran away.
Someone in Owerri should try and confirm this. I have already told my relative in Owerri to call the ebola emergency number so that them ministry of health can come in fully in this case as those that made primary contact with him who ran away have to be contacted immediately and possibly be quarantined. Also, they have to get the people who were involved in his treatment and keep them under surveillance. This might be more serious that the Lagos case. The ministry of health has to act fast.

I won't believe this until the Imo state ministry of health releases an official statement.

I'm in owerri right now and i've not gotten wind of such news, so i reasonably believe it's a baseless rumour

You may not believe it but you have to be careful. This happened near Orji area and the source is someone living in Orji. A near eye witness! According to her, police is guarding the place now to prevent people access to the place.

Instead of saying it is baseless, we should find the phone number of the Imo State Ebola Hotline and call them to confirm. I just tried the Lagos Hotlines with no answer. I was hoping I could at least find out if they had a number for the Imo Health Ministry or the Federal counterpart. Will keep trying... We are all in it and sometimes, every action counts.

Please, where exactly in Orji? I live around Orji. I don't mind tracing the place just to confirm this news if I have a proper address.
