Nigeria's disease control centre says samples from two suspected Ebola cases in Adamawa tested negative

31 October 2026

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention said it is working with Adamawa State to investigate two people in Yola who showed Ebola-like symptoms.
Samples from both were tested in two rounds and came back negative for Ebola.
The centre said no laboratory-confirmed Ebola case has been reported in Adamawa.
The earlier confirmed case in the Federal Capital Territory remains Nigeria's only confirmed case.
The centre stressed that a suspected case is not a confirmation, which depends on laboratory results.
Contact identification and further testing were continuing.
The statement came as the outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo continued.
