The deadly Ebola disease is spreading and reports reaching OgbongegistCom is that the family members of the Matron who died of Ebola in Lagos are on the run. It is suspected that some of them might have contracted the virus from her when she visited home before she was eventually quarantined.

Also, there was panic in Victoria Island on Friday after a suspected Ebola patient was found to be admitted at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC clinic on Muri Okunola.

The patient was said to have first been admitted at First Consultant Medical Centre around the same time the late Liberian man, Patrick Sawyer, was being treated at the clinic...

Men suited in approved safety clothing and an ambulance were seen at the hospital around one 1pm. Though there's no definite confirmation that the patient is infected with Ebola, the Management of the NNPC Clinic has announced the indefinite shut down of the clinic to avoid further spread of the disease.

They said its a pre-emptive step and that they have reported the issue to the Federal Ministry of Health as well as officials of the Lagos State Ministry of Health for further action.

Please everyone, stay safe. Ebola is real!
