Panic has taken over a community in Liberia
when two Ebola victims suddenly rose back to
death.
Panic is spreading in an African village that
Ebola patients are rising from the dead. This

The villagers who believed two female victims
of the killer disease have been resurrected
and are now walking among the living were
shocked at the incident when it happened.
Mirror reports that the victims, who are both
females in their 40s and 60s, died of the
deadly virus in separate communities in
Nimba County, Liberia.
But the pair were said to have risen from their
deaths and are now walking among the living,
causing panic and fear among locals. The two
victims late Dorris Quoi of Hope Village
Community and Ma Kebeh, in her late 60s,
were about to be taken for burial when they
resurrected from the dead, according to the
New Dawn Nimba County, a local newspaper.
Ma Kebeh was reported to be indoors for two
nights without food and medication before
her alleged death. However, it would be
worthy to note that Nimba County has
recently reported unusual news of Ebola
cases, including one about a native doctor
from the county, who claimed that he could
cure infected victims, dying of the virus
himself last week.
The local tabloid however made it known that
since the Ebola outbreak in Nimba County,
this is the first incident of dead victims
resurrecting. The Ebola outbreak has already
killed around 2,800 people in five West
African countries this year while an estimated
5,800 people have been infected with the
virus, which has no known cure.
America’s respected Centres for Disease
Control and Prevention has predicted there
could be up to 1.4million cases of deadly
Ebola by the end of January. The CDC, which
successfully treated two US doctors infected
with the disease, released the worrying report
based on assumptions that cases have been
dramatically under reported.
The Centre’s scientists believe there may be
as many as 21,000 reported and unreported
cases in just Liberia and Sierra Leone alone by
the end of this month.
The World Health Organisation has already
warned the number of people infected with
the Ebola could reach 20,000 by the
beginning of November if steps to contain the
outbreak are not accelerated.
It would be recalled that just recently, after a
seemingly long battle with Ebola in Nigeria,
the Minister of Health in Nigeria, Onyebuchi
Chukwu revealed that Nigeria is completely
free of active Ebola cases, adding that all
contacts of the deadly disease have been
released from surveillance.
