The body of man who died in Liberia has been quarantined by authorities in southeast Nigeria as a precaution amid growing concern over Ebola, an official said on Friday. There was no immediate evidence that Ebola caused his death, but panic broke out in Oyi when locals learned that he had died in Liberia, one of three countries ravaged by the deadliest known outbreak of the virus, an Anambra government spokesman Emeka Ozumba, told AFP. "The government decided to keep the corpse away from relations and the public until we are sure of the cause of death since the body was flown in from Liberia," Ozumba said. The length of the man's stay in Liberia or the precise day he died were not immediately known.
