Lagos Warns Pastors Claiming to Cure Ebola Virus

Lagos residents were also cautioned to desist from sending scary texts about the deadly virus

 

The Lagos State Government has forewarned the general public to be careful of some pastors who claim to have the cure for Ebola virus.

The information was given by the state’s commissioner for Information and Strategy, Aderemi Ibirogba, who specially advised Lagos citizens to be wary of alleged fraudsters who are reportedly making claims about their ability to cure the deadly virus.

Ibirogba warned those who wanted to rip off members of the public using this means to desist from such or risk arrest and prosecution.

“Only medical solutions are known to be appropriate for the disease,” said Ibirogba.

He however urged residents to always contact health providers to report unusual feelings noticed instead of patronising fraudulent pastors.

The commissioners also cautioned the people to desist from sending panicky text messages round about the Ebola disease that could heighten tensions and create anxiety.
