The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has said that none of its soldiers has
tested positive to the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), in Liberia.
In a tweet on Friday, the military high command said the Nigerian troops
were only confined to their camp as precautionary measures and for medical
observations.
The DHQ said this decision was taken after a Sudanese staff of the United
Nations, UN, was reported to have manifested symptoms of the deadly
disease.
“All necessary steps are also being taken to ensure that none of the Nigerian
troops is affected by the disease while serving in Liberia,” the DHQ said.
The Director, Nigerian Army Medical Corps, Major General Obashina Ogunbiyi,
was quoted by Daily Trust to have said that the Sudanese died two days
after he went into the troop’s camp to pray.
Army Medical Corps Director, while speaking to a team of experts from the
Ebola Treatment Group (TRG), said the troops were all quarantined on
Thursday morning.
He said it is necessary to note that Nigeria still faces the EVD threat
especially if any of the soldiers return home without proper checks on their
status.
Maj General Ogunbiyi also noted that about 1, 300 Nigerian troops were
serving in Liberia, which is the hardest hit of the three West African countries
battling the Ebola epidemic, with over 2,300 deaths so far recorded.
The other countries also being ravaged are Guinea, where the disease first
broke out in March, and Sierra Leone. More @ http://newtelegraphonline.com/dhq-nigerian-peacekeepers-in-liberia-ebola-free/
