The Democratic Republic of Congo has confirmed that an outbreak of haemorrhagic fever in the north of the country has been identified as Ebola.

Health Minister Felix Numbi told the BBC that tests on two people had confirmed the disease in Equateur province, where 13 had already died.

But he said the deaths occurred in an isolated area and the disease seemed a different strain to West Africa's.

Dr Numbi said a quarantine zone was being set up to contain the disease.

The cases are the first reported outside West Africa since the outbreak there began.

So far 1,427 people have died from the virus.

The United States has donated equipment worth $5,000 to boost screening of the Ebola Virus Disease at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport.

The latest gesture is in a bid to further strengthen current efforts at containing the spread of the disease in Nigeria.

A statement by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria on Sunday, said the US Consul General in Nigeria, Mr. John Hawkins, made the donation at the airport on Friday.

The Trade Union Congress and civil rights groups have blasted the Federal Government for the rising external debt, which the Debt Management Office put at $9.38bn.

The TUC and other groups, including the Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders and the Civil Society Network against Corruption, said that there was no justification for the rising debt profile.

The TUC, in a statement in Abuja on Sunday by its President, Mr. Bala Kaigama, said that it was alarmed by the rising external debt of the country.

Kaigama cautioned the Federal Government to check its resort to foreign loans before the future of Nigeria is once again mortgaged to foreign creditors.

The Director-General of the DMO, Dr. Abraham Nwankwo, had recently told newsmen in Abuja that the country’s external debt was $9.38bn.

Governor Theodore Orji of Abia State on Sunday led other government functionaries to a commemorative church service marking the 23rd anniversary of the creation of the state.

Orji said at the Assemblies of God Church, Nkporo Street, Umuahia, that “today is a day set aside to present the state to God’’.

According to him, the remarkable thing about this year’s celebration is the fact that this is the last anniversary of the state creation that I will celebrate as governor.

He urged the people to emulate the life of Christ, in line with the Abia slogan “God’s Own State’’.

In his sermon, the Superintendent, Jerusalem District, Umuahia North, James Ndukwe, urged the people to join the government in its efforts to develop the state.

“My prayer is that God will raise men, who will appreciate what the government is doing at any point in time and lend their support to state development’’, Ndukwe said.

He expressed happiness that the present administration had wrested the state from the hands of “cultists’’ and returned it to God.

He, therefore, urged politicians to shun evil and cult practices and embrace God so that His glory would reign in the state.

Ndukwe, who blamed past governors and their aides for the failure and backwardness of the state, urged Orji to remain focused and steadfast in his good work.

Imo State government has given reasons why it would not join issues with the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha, over his recent encounter with Governor Rochas Okorocha.

A statement by the Media Aide to the Governor, Sam Onwuemeodo, explained that, “Imo people and indeed Nigerians who had followed what transpired at the 2014 Iriji Mbaise festival held on Friday, August 15, 2014, would be shocked how or why we have decided not comment on that incident after our only reaction to that dishonourable act by the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, in which case, we only took exception to that unprovoked verbal attack against the governor of the state, while still holding the kola he was given to present to the visitors at the event”.

He regretted that Ihedioha and his supporters have continued their media gimmicks to deceive the general public, saying, “on our part, we decided not to comment again on the issue.  And we have our reasons”.

The aide said the state government had discovered that Ihedioha deliberately launched the verbal attack on the governor at the Iriji event to give the impression that he can confront or fight Okorocha in the politics of the state, even when he knew that could not be possible by any standard.
