Cameroun has closed
all its borders with Nigeria in a bid to halt the spread of the Ebola virus,
state radio said on Tuesday.
 “The government has
taken the decision to protect its population because it is much better to
prevent than cure the Ebola virus,” Minister of Communications and government
spokesman Issa Tchiroma Bakary told Reuters.
The Ebola virus has
killed five persons in Lagos, Nigeria’s economic and financial hub, while 5 new
cases were recorded Tuesday bringing the total number of cases to 12 in the
city since the disease arrived Lagos from Monrovia through a Liberian-American
man, Patrick Sawyer, who died four days later at an isolation unit of the
Mainland Hospital in Yaba Lagos.
 Sawyer had
contracted the disease from his sister and had flown to Nigeria knowing he was
infected.
