The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) has issued an advisory following the outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
NCDC Director General, Jide Idris, said the Central African nation reported that 28 suspected cases and 15 deaths, including four health workers, had been recorded as of September 4, 2025.
The DRC Health Minister, Samuel Roger Kamba, said the new outbreak is in central Kasai Province.
However, the NCDC confirmed that there are no cases of Ebola virus disease in Nigeria.
Idris said Nigeria has been placed on high alert, adding that surveillance had been heightened at entry points, healthcare facilities, and communities to prevent the spread of the disease.
