ABOUT 150 stranded Nigerian teachers in Sierra Leone, Cote D’Ivoire and Liberia have reportedly started escaping into Nigeria, following the refusal of the Federal Government to evacuate them because of the Ebola scourge.

But those who escaped from Ebola infected towns and villages, have not gone for any Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) test in any hospital.

The development has created panic following the success achieved at containing the virus in the country. Investigation confirmed that the 150 teachers were sent to Sierra Leone, Cote D’Ivoire, Liberia, and other countries in West Africa under the Nigerian Technical Aids Corps Programme, which is coordinated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
