Ebola VirusThe Lagos State Government has advised Nigerians against patronising unscrupulous persons purportedly marketing “Ebola Cassette Test Kit”.
Spokesman for the state government, Mr Hakeem Bello, gave the alert on Tuesday in a statement.
Mr Bello said that the fake items, which were branded as “Rapid Response Canada with test results purportedly available in 10 minutes”, was a fraud.
According to the Statement, there are no Ebola test kits manufactured anywhere in the world.
“The technique for its manufacture does not exist yet,” the statement read.
The government urged the public not to patronise the dubious marketers of the product.
Since the Ebola virus outbreak started early this year in West Africa, over 1500 deaths have been reported  and several individuals are taking advantage of it to exploit the public. The prices of sanitisers have tripled while fake sanitisers have flooded the market.
