 U.S equipment, experts arrive at Kenya Ebola facility despite court order, protests Around 20 flights carrying medical equipment and specialist staff have landed at a base in Kenya where the U.S. ​government is continuing to build an Ebola quarantine facility despite protests and Kenyan court orders blocking it, according to flight data and officials. At least two ‌people have been killed in protests in the central Kenyan town of Nanyuki, home to the Kenyan air force base where the U.S. military is building a 50-bed unit for Americans who might be exposed to the virus, which has infected hundreds in Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. A Kenyan court first ordered work on the Ebola facility to be suspended on May ​28, yet U.S. military flights into Nanyuki continued in the days that followed, according to data from flight-tracking service Flightradar24. The planes have brought in technical ​equipment as well as dozens of physicians, engineers, lab experts and construction work...

 NCDC flags Lagos, Abuja and 8 other High-risk states for Ebola preparedness alert


The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) has placed Lagos, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Kano, Rivers, and six other states on a high-risk preparedness alert. This proactive directive follows a dynamic risk assessment that classified Nigeria’s potential for importing the deadly Bundibugyo Ebola Virus Disease strain as high.


In a national public health advisory addressed to health commissioners across all 36 states and the FCT, the NCDC emphasized the critical need to urgently bolster surveillance, isolation capacity, and infection prevention frameworks.


This urgency aligns with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recent declaration of the escalating outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Uganda as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.


While Nigeria has recorded no confirmed cases of the virus, the ongoing regional transmission across Central and East Africa poses a tangible threat. Current figures from the source zone indicate 1,077 suspected cases and 247 deaths, reflecting a severe case fatality rate of 24.6 percent.


The NCDC underscored that Nigeria’s high vulnerability stems from continuous international travel, dense population movements, major maritime ports, and porous land borders with informal crossings.


The agency structured its preparedness model into risk tiers based on direct exposure routes and historical transit volume. The highest risk tier encompasses 10 specific states equipped with major international transit hubs or extensive border pathways:


Lagos

Federal Capital Territory (FCT)

Rivers

Kano

Enugu

Borno

Akwa Ibom

Cross River

Taraba

Adamawa


The NCDC explicitly noted that while all states must maintain basic containment frameworks, these top-tier states are required to aggressively scale up diagnostic readiness and dedicated isolation units.
