Liberian Man Being Tested For Ebola Virus In Lagos

A Liberian man in his 40s is being tested for the deadly Ebola virus in Lagos State.

This was made known by the Health Ministry on Thursday.

Ebola has killed 632 people across Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone since an outbreak began in February, straining a string of weak health systems despite international help.

This would be the first recorded case of one of the world’s deadliest diseases in Nigeria, Africa’s biggest economy and most populous nation, with 170 million people and some of Africa’s least adequate health infrastructure.
