Nigeria has received Nanosilver,
an experimental treatment protocol recommended by an unnamed Nigerian scientist
in the diaspora to treat the Ebola virus, the Minister of Health, Onyebuchi
Chukwu, has said.
“The only experimental drug we have now is Nanosilver,
provided by a Nigerian scientist; details of the drug will be disclosed later
to the media.
“However, we have 11 confirmed cases
of Ebola in Nigeria, out of these, three are dead, Patrick Sawyer, a Nigeria
nurse and ECOWAS protocol officer. Apart from Lagos, there is no Ebola case in
any states of the federation.”
Chukwu said the suspected cases that
were reported in Abia, Anambra, and Abuja were investigated and proved
negative.
“Nobody in Enugu has Ebola disease, all cases are still
confined within Lagos.”
He added that Cross River was also
free of the disease, adding that the nurse who was under surveillance in Lagos
that travelled to Enugu was back to Lagos with members of her family for close
monitoring.
