Ebola: Liberians dump corpses of victims in streets

The Liiberian Government confirmed on Wednesday that relatives of Ebola victims defied quarantine order and are dumping corpses of Ebola victims in the streets of Monrovia.

This is happening as government struggles to enforce tough measures to curb further spread of the virus that has killed 887 people.

Lewis Brown, Information Minister said in Monrovia that relatives of Ebola victims were dragging bodies onto the dirt streets rather than face quarantine.

He said some people may be alarmed by regulations imposing the decontamination of victims’ homes and the tracking of their friends and relatives.

“They are therefore removing the bodies from their homes and are putting them out in the streets, and thereby exposing themselves to the risk of being contaminated.

“We’re asking people to please leave the bodies in their homes and we’ll pick them up’’, he added.

Brown said authorities had begun cremating bodies on Sunday, after local communities opposed burials in their neighbourhoods.

He said government carried out 12 cremations on Monday.

Brown said the troops deployed to the border region of Lofa County on Monday night had started isolating infected communities.

“We hope it will not require excessive force, but we have to do whatever we can to restrict the movement of people out of affected areas”, he said.

Finance Minister Amara Konneh said the country’s growth forecast for the year was no longer looking realistic as a result of the outbreak.

British Airways said it was suspending flights to and from Liberia and Sierra Leone until the end of the month due to public health concerns.

APC members are Boko Haramites and barbarians – Fani-Kayode

Nigeria’s former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani Kayode has continued to accuse the All Progressives Congress (APC) of being behind the deadly sect, Boko Haram.

In a fresh allegation made public today via his twitter page, , FFK wrote; “The APC is the political wing of Boko Haram and Boko Haram is the military wing of the APC, Say NO to the Haramite murderers and barbarians.”

This is not the first time the former Minister would be accusing the opposition party, APC of fueling violence in the country.

Recently in Osogbo, Osun state, Kayode had further reiterated his conviction that the growing insecurity in north and other parts of the country was the brain-child of the APC, saying the sect was a political wing of the party.

“The APC in the North is the political wing of Boko Haram in the northern part of Nigeria. This, I have said before and no one amongst them was bold enough to challenge me. I will continue to say it again and again. The northern elements in the APC have to explain to all Nigerians why some of their leaders in the North support, encourage and defend Boko Haram members.” FFK said.

He further asserted that the silence of the party was a way of accepting the obvious. He said; “No member of the APC has been bold enough to controvert what I said about their relationship with the Boko Haram members in the North. I stand to be challenged if any of them has a contrary view.”

I slaughtered only five people – Boko Haram butcher

Zakari Mohammed Ardo, a Boko Haram Chief butcher has said that he killed “only five people” during his operation with his fellow sect members.

On Wednesday 6th August, 2014, Zakari was paraded before journalists at a police facility in Abuja. while responding to questions, he said it takes him two minutes to slay his victim that is given death sentence.

The suspect said he was the head of a five-man team of killer squad of the sect. According to him, the four other members hold the victim to the ground while he slices the throat.

The 30-year-old suspect, who spoke to journalists through an interpreter (he spoke in Kanuri), said he joined Boko Haram in 2012 and had been working with the sect until his arrest on July,12 by the police, along Darazo-Basrika Road, Bauchi while fleeing from Balmo Forest.

He has since been in police detention until news filtered in at the weekend that he had escaped.

Frank Mba, the Force Public Relations Officer said the police authorities decided to parade the suspect to discredit news of his alleged escape. FacebookTwitterEmailMore

Mba pleaded with the media to always exercise moderation in reporting of terrorist activities, because the issue was too sensitive for anyone to report without verifying the information with the appropriate security agencies.
