TVC NEWS [FREETOWN]- A Royal Air Force plane carrying a British citizen who contracted the deadly Ebola virus in Sierra Leone took off from the airport in the capital Freetown on Sunday bound for Britain, a witness told our correspondent. The Briton, believed to be a medical volunteer who had been working at an Ebola treatment site in the West African country, was brought by ambulance to the grey Boeing C-17 cargo plane. The flight took off at around 1250 GMT, the witness said.

Boko Haram’s leader said he has created an Islamic caliphate in a northeast Nigeria town seized by the insurgents earlier this month, in a video obtained by AFP on Sunday. “Thanks be to Allah who gave victory to our brethren in (the town of) Gwoza and made it part of the Islamic caliphate,” Abubakar Shekau said in the 52-minute video. He declared that Gwoza, in Borno state, now has “nothing to do with Nigeria”. “By the grace of Allah we will not leave the town. We have come to stay,” said Shekau, who has been designated a global terrorist by the United States and sanctioned by the UN Security Council. The United Nations humanitarian office (OCHA) earlier this month confirmed reports that Gwoza was under rebel control. Boko Haram is also believed to be in control of other areas near Gwoza in southern Borno, as well as large swathes of territory in northern Borno and at least one town in neighbouring Yobe state. Mapping the precise areas which have fallen int

More than 1000 Bishops and Pastors from the Pentecostal fold on Sunday stormed the Ecumenical Center, Abuja to reconcile President Goodluck Jonathan and former President Olusegun Obasanjo, ahead of the 2015 general elections in the country, reports Vanguard. The reconciliation prayer meeting however could not hold, as President Goodluck Jonathan was absent, as he was away in Germany on a private visit. Former President Obasanjo, was also absent and he was said to have been represented by his pastor. There were divergent views on the invitation sent to the two leaders as some of the pastors claimed both President Jonathan and former President Obasanjo were formerly invited, some other members said that the President was not given formal invitation to attend but that he was aware of the meeting. Some of the clerics told Vanguard that President Jonathan was represented at the prayer meeting by Venerable Obioma Onwuzurumba but that the members had wanted the two p

Bodies of the four Nigerians, who died of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) have been cremated in line with World Health Organisation (WHO) requirements for disposal of such corpses. The decision to cremate the bodies, it was gathered, may not be unconnected with the deadly nature of the Ebola Virus which is known to be easily transmissible from human to human, especially during handling of corpses of victims. The body of the index (first) case, Patrick Sawyer was the first to be cremated on July 25, 2014. A health official at the Emergency Operation Centre (EOC) of the Mainland Hospital, Lagos, who confirmed the development, said the Lagos State Government in following strict guidelines for disposal of the bodies, authorised cremation of all the bodies. The official who pleaded anonymity said the decision to cremate all bodies was to ensure appropriate containment measures and guarantee proper handling of the bodies. “All the bodies of those who died of Ebola from t

The Federal Government and its Israeli counterpart on Sunday assured this year’s intending ‘family pilgrims’ to Israel of their safety and welfare. The assurances were given by officials of both countries while addressing the pilgrims at the inauguration of the 2014 `Family Pilgrimage’ at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja. The Chief of Staff to the President, Mr Jones Arogbofa, said the Federal Government was in touch with the authorities in Israel, stressing that there was no need to entertain any fear. He said the Israeli government had demonstrated sufficient capacity to contain the crisis and has already assured the federal government of the safety of its citizens in the holy land. According to Arogbofa, prayers and intense communion with God should pre-occupy the minds and schedule of the pilgrims while in the holy land, because their security would be taken care of. He urged the pilgrims to be steadfast in their prayers for their leaders

Ondo State Government has disclosed plan to make cremation a law to deal with dead bodies that are brought to the state without certificate on the cause of their death. This is seen as part of measure to curtail the spread of the deadly Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in the country. Governor Olusegun Mimiko, disclosed the government’s plan while speaking at the inauguration of the Ondo Central Missionary Diocese of the African Church Nigeria and Overseas at the Ebenezer African Church cathedral, Akure. Mimiko also advised the people on precautionary measures against being infected by the Ebola virus, saying they should avoid touching dead bodies killed by the disease and those they did not know what killed them. According to him, the ebola virus would be defeated if Nigerians do what they are supposed to do. He therefore advised people to observe personal hygiene practices including frequent hand washing with soap and water and avoiding unnecessary bodily contact, e

Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima has expressed doubts over the reported declaration of Gwoza as a territory of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram. He expressed doubts over the authenticity of the video where the sect leader Abubakar Shekau made the claim, but stated that the government was the activities of the security agencies fighting insurgency in the state. “I cannot comment on the authenticity or otherwise of that video in question, I will leave that to security experts. I also cannot disclose measures being adopted by security agencies on whatever development in Gwoza or any part of Borno State but I can assure the good people of Borno State and other members of the public that the State Government is actively in touch and supporting security agencies deployed to Borno State in the counter insurgency efforts and insha Allah, the combined efforts will not be in vain. “We are not just studying the situation with collaborative tact and urgency but indeed, ap
