Ekiti State Government has confirmed two suspected monkeypox cases in the state.

Commissioner for Health, Dr. Modupe Alade, made this known in a press conference in Ado Ekiti, the state capital.

“We have two cases at Okemesi Ekiti. Tests are still being carried out and not until it is confirmed, we can’t come out with any official statement”, the Secretary to the State Government,” she said.

The victims, Alade noted, were discovered in Okemesi Ekiti, a border town with the state of Osun in Ekiti West, have been quarantined while their blood samples have been taken to Abuja for laboratory tests.
