The news was first reported by NBC News, but has since been confirmed by several other outlets, including Vanguard News, Peoples Gazette Nigeria, and Arab News. The exact details of the case and the woman’s condition are still unclear, but health officials are taking swift action to contain the virus and prevent its spread. The Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has issued a statement saying that they are working closely with the World Health Organization (WHO) and other international health partners to monitor the situation and take necessary measures to protect the public.
