As the nation grapples to contain the spread of the dreaded Ebola Virus Disease in the country, workers in the Presidential Villa, Abuja have been warned to be wary of the presence of bats and monkeys.
The two animals with large presence in the Villa have been linked to the virus therefore causing panic among workers.
The warning to members of staff was contained in an internal circular dated August 12 and issued by the Chief Physician to the President, Dr. Fortune Fiberesima.
In the circular, Fiberesima cautioned State House personnel against contact with the two animals, either dead or alive.
He warned them to avoid using hands to clear animal faeces on parked cars.
He further warned car owners to water-hose vehicles parked under trees (with or without animal droppings on them) properly before washing them.
He also urged them to sanitise or wash their hands with soap and water as often as possible.
