There is confusion at Dr Ike Enemuo’s country home Ufuma, Orumba North local government area Anambra state. Enemuo was the Medical doctor killed by Ebola Virus after being exposed to the disease after treating a patient with symptoms.
The news hit his home front Ufuma and students of Federal Polytechnic Oko Ufuma campus were panicky over a possible spread and news scattered the village. People from his village Ozegu, one kilometer from Ufuma junction were apprehensive.
The relatives of the dead medical doctor are students and staff of the school hence the tension but before the Polytechnic management could react, a prominent citizen of Ufuma, Prof Benjamin Sunday Okeke dismissed the noise.
Prof Okeke confirmed that late Dr Enemuo was his family doctor and a brother from Ufuma confirming that the Ebola scare at Ufuma was a mischief as the parents of the late Dr are resident in Aba, Abia state and that the deceased had not come home in the last two years.
He said the man had a child who was ten days at the time of his sickness and that his wife and sister have been quarantined dismissing media reports that she had died yesterday.
Prof Okeke said the parents of the late Dr did not see him before he died and that the hospital he treated the patient wasn’t his hospital but that of his in laws.
