Ebola Scare: Police Raid Hotels, Arrest 39 Foreigners in Lagos

I just hope some people from other African countries are not intentionally infecting people with Ebola in our dear country, Nigeria. Too many of them seem to be sneaking into Nigeria. For what?

Men of the Nigerian Police from Area A Command, Lion Building, Ikoyi, Lagos State, and operatives of the Nigerian Immigration Service, on Friday raided one hotel and a guest house on Lagos Island, arresting 39 foreign nationals over the Ebola Virus Disease scare.

The foreigners identified as 35 from the Democratic Republic of Congo and four Senegalese, were were said to be co-habiting in Benin Hotel and another guest house both situated on Atere street on Lagos Island. 

According to security operatives, the raid of the two hotels was motivated by reports from residents of the area who expressed concern that activities of the foreigners, swarming the area, could lead to the spread of Ebola.

Consequently, the police has placed all hotels in the area under close surveillance. Good work!
