Following the sudden death of a middle-aged man who many
believed to have died of the dreaded Ebola Virus disease on saturday in Udo
community, Orhiomwon local government council of Edo State, some neighbours of
the deceased have abandon their homes for fear of contacting the deadly virus.
Some people in the village have claimed that the deceased was epileptic and
died after an attack and not from the Virus.
Officials of the Ministry of Health in the state had gone to
the community to collect the blood sample of the deceased with a view to
ascertain the actual cause of death. According to reports from Leadership,
pandemonium broke when some villagers observed blood in some parts of the body
of the deceased who though alive then, was foaming in the mouth and fearing
that he could be suffering from the Ebola Virus, the villagers covered their
hands with cloths and bundled the sick body into an empty bus and ordered the
driver to take the man to a hospital
