Ebola Scare Hits Bayelsa Police Flee As Monkey Owner Visit Station
Ebola Scare Hits Bayelsa Police Flee As Monkey Owner Visit Station
This is even as an 18-month-old baby was quarantined in Rivers State.
Monkeys have been identified as one of the animals to be avoided because they harbour the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD).
Checks indicated that the owner of the monkey simply identified as Madam Ebitare, was arrested by a patrol team of the division at Swali market for still selling live and dried monkeys to Bayelsans.
She was said to have been taken to the station and upon arrival, policemen ran for their lives when she alighted from the patrol van with her monkey.
Eyewitnesses said the commotion she caused attracted the attention of some top officers at the station who immediately ordered the patrol team to take her and the monkey outside the premises.
The monkey heightened the confusion when it broke off from its owner, forcing many people who were watching the drama to flee for their safety.
The owner pursued the monkey and caught up with it. Her case was subsequently referred to the Ministry of Health.
A source at the station said the leadership of the division were not aware of her arrest, but on hearing about the incident, they have alerted relevant authorities on the situation.
"The incident shocked many. We have alerted the Ministry of Health on the continued disregard to the purchase of bush meat and eating of bats," he said.
Meanwhile, Governor Henry Seriake Dickson has assured Bayelsans that the state government will deal with any case of EVD. Dickson said isolation centres established by the state government are ready for any EVD case, urging the residents to remain vigilant and report any case of symptoms to the authorities.
He advised them against visiting traditional healers or prayer warriors over any case of EVD to avoid the spread.
Meanwhile, a baby had been quarantined at the Ebola Treatment Centre in Oduoha community, Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Commissioner for Health, Dr. Sampson Parker, disclosed this yesterday, while briefing newsmen in Port Harcourt on the situation report of the virus.
Dr. Parker said the baby was among those who had primary contacts with the late Dr. Iyke Enemuo, the first Ebola victim in the state.
He also informed that the late Enemuo's sister, Chinyere, who tested positive to the virus, had been treated and discharged from the centre.
According to him, the baby, who was among the high risk contacts, became symptomatic at the weekend and was moved to the treatment centre, but yet to be tested.
"She has been effectively treated, cleared and discharged from our isolation treatment centre. She deserves to be celebrated as a success story. We have successfully treated and discharged an Ebola patient from our treatment centre. She was positive and she has been treated successfully and now negative. She has been re-united with her family members.
"A symptomatic contact was also discharged. He tested negative to the virus and was treated for something else and discharged. Right now, we have another admission, an 18 months old infant; but yet to be tested," he said.
Dr. Parker noted that about 479 contacts were now under watch, adding that 94 per cent of them were already being followed up, adding that the remaining figure would be covered before the end of yesterday. He cautioned members of the public against stigmatisation, saying that malaria kills more people than the Ebola virus.
He asked: "Why don't we stigmatise malaria patients? We have about 479 contacts now, about 94 per cent of them are being followed up by today, we will cover all of them. Our points of entry are now well covered. Activities there have improved and going on very well and our worker fully on ground", he said

DRAMA As Lizard Enters Femi Kuti’s Car Says Evil People At Work
DRAMA As Lizard Enters Femi Kuti’s Car Says Evil People At Work
Over the weekend, popular Afrobeat singer, Femi Kuti caused a scene that attracted a large crowd when he sought help to fish out a lizard that entered his car via the dashboard on the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos.
Femi Kuti narrated his ordeal jokingly at MUSON Center’s pre-event news briefing. The Afrobeat King said he was horrified by the event.
He said a lizard appeared all of a sudden, from the dashboard of the car, while he was at top speed, starring at him snappily before ducking away.
In no time, the search party increased around the Black Prado Jeep. Perhaps then, it dawned on the musician, how seriously he had painted the scenario. The crowd, including his colleague, Yinka Davies begun to get amused, and Kuti, tried to make a joke of the situation.
“You know, it could have been a disaster if the lizard had run through my trousers, climbing to my private part. You can imagine how jumpy I could have reacted, trying to protect my manhood. Because, that to me is an important part of who I am, I can’t joke with it.” The crowd roared with laughter.
“Evil people could be at work,” added the musician jocularly, still wondering how the lizard got into his car.
After the event, Femi Kuti refused to drive the car until the lizard was found.

Downloading YouTube Videos as MP3 Songs
Downloading YouTube Videos as MP3 Songs
YouTube has good music videos, comedy acts, and more. But you cannot listen to them on your iPod or any other device. Well, today I bring you the solution to download YouTube videos as MP3 songs.
Good website to convert those YouTube videos to MP3 files. Has a little bit of ads but you will probably live with it.
This also has a good amount of ads. But hey, it does its job of converting!
Little more fancy graphics. But again, they should lay off on the ads!
A clean user interface with minimal ads (finally!). But the problem is, it will only convert some videos not all.
