✍🏿Public Statement: Update on the Investigation Involving a Traveller To Nigeria and ADDITIONAL Public Health Measures.

The Ebola patient in Nigeria is Uganda-born. She went to Uganda and was there for some days. Her husband flew to join her in Uganda, and they both returned to Abuja, Nigeria, on October 3, 2026. We want collaboration from this lady. She has to disclose to the authorities if she flew into the DRC, went out of Kampala, and if she was in contact with someone from the DRC. - DG, Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr.Jean Kaseya, speaking on the latest Ebola outbreak on the continent #MorningBrief #CTVTweets

PUBLIC STATEMENT The Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) has learnt with concern of the launch of a “National Data Strategy” by the Ministry of Information, Communication Technology and National Guidance (MoICT&NG). The Bureau informs the public that the strategy breaches the provisions of the UBOS Act, 1998, Cap. 333, which establishes UBOS as the principal data collecting and disseminating agency responsible for coordinating, monitoring and supervising the National Statistical System. The public is therefore strongly advised to treat the impugned “National Data Strategy” recently launched by the MoICT&NG with the utmost contempt it deserves.

Kenyans and Nigerians are asking how both Ebola patients left Uganda undetected but they are not asking how both patients also exited their airports undetected and were all discovered in private facilities.

EBOLA IN NIGERIA: AN URGENT CALL FOR GLOBAL SOLIDARITY Today 20 October 2026, I spoke with the Nigerian Coordinating Minister of Health and Social welfare, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate, who informed me of a confirmed Ebola Bundibugyo case in Nigeria. I commend his transparency and leadership. Early reporting saves lives. When Africa CDC declared this Ebola outbreak on 15 May 2026, we warned of its regional dimension and implications. This Ebola Bundibugyo outbreak has already become the most geographically widespread Ebola outbreak in history, affecting multiple countries across three regions of Africa. With mortality approaching 50% in DRC, we face an extremely serious threat. Africa CDC has already begun mobilising support for Nigeria, while intensifying our response in DRC and Kenya and maintaining heightened vigilance in Uganda. My appeal to the international community is urgent: ACT NOW. We need immediate, flexible financing, medical supplies, diagnostics, trained responders and stronger community-based surveillance. We cannot allow this outbreak to spread to more countries or continue for another year. Every day of delay costs lives. Africa’s health security is global health security. Stopping Ebola in Africa today means protecting the world. Nigeria has our full solidarity. Together, we must defeat this outbreak. @AfricaCDC, @WHO, @WHOAFRO, @WorldBank, @gavi, @CEPIvaccines, @UNICEF, @NCDCgov, @African Union Commission, @Pandemic_Fund, @European Commission, @EU HERA, @US CDC, @UK FCDO, @Public Health Agency of Canada, @African Development Bank, @AfreximBank, @Gates Foundation, @Mastercard Foundation, @Wellcome, @UNOCHA, @IFRC #AfricaReady #StopEbola #HealthSecurity

That Somali family that the Ebola index patient comes from deserves to be published severely. They actually sneaked him into the country, by passing all protocols, to try help him & exposed all of us. Even the CS for Health should be held accountable & punished. Very selfish, evil people.

The ICC deserves serious criticism for failing to live up to the mandate and expectations for which it was established and for being selective in its focus. What it needs is urgent reform. Not sanctions. Kenya will continue to work with State Parties to reform the court. @ForeignOfficeKE
