Ebola: Stay in your country, TB Joshua tells victims
Founder of Synagogue Church of All Nations, Pastor Temitope
Joshua, who was recently visited by a team of Nigerian health
authorities over the spread of the deadly Ebola disease, has
directed victims to stay in their countries.
As part of on-going efforts to prevent spread of the dreaded Ebola Virus Disease, EVD, into the country, a team of Federal and Lagos State Health officials, had visited Joshua, to sensitise members of the congregation about persons from the affected countries in their midst.
Speaking on the deadly disease, Joshua said, “What makes you a good citizen makes you a good Christian. There is a general law in every country that binds against Ebola victims from crossing borders,” Mr. Joshua announced on the church’s official website and Facebook page.
“Obey the law of your land and it shall be well with you. Obey the law of the land by not crossing the borders of your nation with Ebola virus,” he added.
Jide Idris, the Lagos State Commissioner of Health, who led Idris, in his address during interaction at the premises of the Church, said he visited the Church because of its recognition as an international Christian centre whose congregation comprise people from all over the world including the countries of the West African sub-region which have already been affected by the Ebola disease.
He said,“The visit is one of the Government’s strategies of sensitising faith-based organisations on the need to cooperate with the government to prevent the spread of the disease in the country by educating their adherents to escalate health issues to medical experts.
Spread of the virus “Federal and the State governments are working hard on how to prevent a spread of the virus into the country.
The delegation felt that because the church has some people from the West African sub-region as members and because of the influx and population of the congregation there might be need to check and also raise the awareness level on the disease in the church.
“We have our strategies that we intend to share with you. Again we need to know the resources you have here because whether it is one or two cases, if they are allowed to get out, it is a major problem. We are here to work together on how to contain this disease.
Director, Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, Professor Abdulsalami Nasidi, ön the mission, noted that the visit was also to inform the Synagogue leader of the deadliness of the Ebola Virus and to ensure it does not find its way into the country.
Mr. Joshua, the General Overseer of the Lagos-based church, is controversial for his claims of using divine powers to heal all kinds of ailments, prompting sick people from across Africa and the world to regularly throng his church.
The Nigerian Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu, on Monday said that a medical doctor in Lagos has been infected with the deadly Ebola virus.
The unnamed doctor marks the second case of confirmed Ebola infection in Lagos after Patrick Sawyer, a Liberian, contracted and died of the ailment last month. According to the Prof. Chukwu, 70 other people believed to have come into contact with the Liberian were being monitored.
Of the eight people now in quarantine, three show “symptomatic” signs of the disease, the health minister said.

Village head commits suicide 4 days to daughter’s wedding
ABA—The immediate family and relations of Chief Samuel
Omeonu Ezengwa, a village head in Umunkita, Nenu Autonomous
Community in Obingwa Local Government Area of Abia State,
have been thrown into shock after the head of the family and a
village head in the community allegedly committed suicide by
hanging four days to the daughter’s traditional wedding.
A source in the area said the body of the village head was discovered hanging on a tree at about 7am Wednesday by a member of his family who had gone out that morning.
Though it was not known his reasons for committing suicide, Vanguard gathered that the incident has put on hold the deceased daughter’s traditional marriage billed to hold on Sunday, August 3.
A family source said the night before the unfortunate incident, he had had an intensive discussion with the deceased over his daughter’s traditional marriage coming up at the weekend, adding that the deceased never showed any sign of depression which had been attributed as a major cause of the incident.
Sources said on hearing of the incident, the Eastern Ngwa Police Division drafted their men to the area where they had a close session with the immediate family and later left the compound with the man’s body still hanging on the tree.
A villager who spoke on anonymity, said the body of the deceased could only be brought down for burial after some rituals had been performed as demanded by their custom, describing the state of the man’s death as one of the things that “is highly” prohibited by their traditional belief.
Members of the family were said to have been in deep shock over the incident and could not speak publicly on the issue.
Some reports, which were yet to be verified at press time, have it that the victim committed suicide after the community had written the family inviting them to explain what they knew about an alleged financial embezzlement on an electrification project in the community, an amount some said would be too much for them to repay.
Efforts to reach the state Police Public Relations Officer failed as he did not pick calls pull through his phone but a reliable police source confirmed the incident.
