Panic is spreading in an African village that Ebola
patients are rising from the dead. This is a file picture of
an Ebola victim
The villagers who believed two female victims of the killer
disease have been resurrected and are now walking
among the living were shocked at the incident when it
happened. Mirror reports that the victims, who are both
females in their 40s and 60s, died of the deadly virus in
separate communities in Nimba County, Liberia.
But the pair were said to have risen from their deaths and
are now walking among the living, causing panic and fear
among locals. The two victims late Dorris Quoi of Hope
Village Community and Ma Kebeh, in her late 60s, were
about to be taken for burial when they resurrected from
the dead, according to the New Dawn Nimba County, a
local newspaper.
Ma Kebeh was reported to be indoors for two nights
without food and medication before her alleged death.
However, it would be worthy to note that Nimba County
has recently reported unusual news of Ebola cases,
including one about a native doctor from the county, who
claimed that he could cure infected victims, dying of the
virus himself last week.
The local tabloid however made it known that since the
Ebola outbreak in Nimba County, this is the first incident
of dead victims resurrecting. The Ebola outbreak has
already killed around 2,800 people in five West African
countries this year while an estimated 5,800 people have
been infected with the virus, which has no known cure.
America’s respected Centres for Disease Control and
Prevention has predicted there could be up to 1.4million
cases of deadly Ebola by the end of January. The CDC,
which successfully treated two US doctors infected with
the disease, released the worrying report based on
assumptions that cases have been dramatically under
reported.
The Centre’s scientists believe there may be as many as
21,000 reported and unreported cases in just Liberia and
Sierra Leone alone by the end of this month.
The World Health Organisation has already warned the
number of people infected with the Ebola could reach
20,000 by the beginning of November if steps to contain
the outbreak are not accelerated.
It would be recalled that just recently, after a seemingly
long battle with Ebola in Nigeria , the Minister of Health in
Nigeria, Onyebuchi Chukwu revealed that Nigeria is
completely free of active Ebola cases, adding that all
contacts of the deadly disease have been released from
surveillance.
