The young man was negative of the Ebola virus. He however, tested positive for Dengue fever. I am told it is a very bad type of fever, but it is no where close to the Ebola virus. ?May I reassure our people that we are ever ready to contain any outbreak Ebola. And for now, and I pray forever, There is no single case of Ebola in Kaduna State. We are waiting for more brief on the Dengue fever and we shall act in the best interest of the public,? he said.
