Curfew in Sierra Leone town after rioting, shooting over Ebola case
FREETOWN Tue Oct 21, 2014 3:20pm EDT
(Reuters) - Authorities in Sierra Leone imposed a curfew in the eastern town of Koidu on Tuesday after a dispute between youth and police over a suspected case of Ebola degenerated into gunfire and rioting, officials said.

David Koroma, the police unit commander in Koidu, said rioting began when a former youth leader refused health authorities permission to take her 90-year old grandmother for an Ebola test.
Dr Manso Dumbuya, the district medical officer, said he had been forced to abandon the hospital because of the rioting. The diamond-rich district of Kono, which includes the town of Koidu, does not have an Ebola treatment center and cases are taken to neighboring Kenema or Kailahun.

Two people died in a riot in Sierra Leone sparked when health workers struggling to contain the Ebola epidemic tried to take a blood sample from an elderly woman, doctors told AFP on Wednesday.
A machete-wielding mob clashed with security personnel in the eastern city of Koidu and then went on a rampage on Tuesday, after preventing a medical team from taking the blood from the 90-year-old mother of a youth leader, doctors from the local hospital said.
