The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) has identified two suspected Ebola cases in the North-East region of Nigeria. Both individuals have been isolated, while contact identification and laboratory testing are ongoing. The NCDC clarified that being classified as suspected cases does not equate to a confirmed Ebola diagnosis, as confirmation relies on laboratory results.
Authorities urged the public to maintain proper hand hygiene, sanitation, and adhere to public health guidance. This development follows Nigeria's first imported Ebola case in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, which was reported on October 20, 2026. The infected woman had traveled from Uganda and experienced symptoms on October 7 before seeking treatment at a private hospital in Abuja on October 11.
