The United Kingdom's Ministry of Justice has denied reports that former
Liberian President, Charles Taylor died today. The Justice ministry made
the clarification to BBC after rumours of his death spread on social
media. Taylor is serving a 50 year jail term in the UK over allegations
of backing rebels in Sierra Leone during the 1991-2002 civil war.
Dr. Kuden Kamshak, the Plateau State Commissioner for Health, has confirmed that five cases of Lassa fever have been detected in Jos, the state capital. However, he said that the patients were responding to treatment. He said: “So far, we have only five cases and they are responding to treatment. We have advised doctors not to keep patients for so long in the hospital to avoid contact and spread.”
