EBOLA: Nigerian actor star flees Liberia

Nollywood Actor, Jim Iyke has fled Liberia’s capital city, Monrovia over Ebola outbreak.

Iyke who was in Monrovia, Liberia for business, left a few hours ago, following reports of the outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in the country.



Jim Iyke, via Instagram, revealed that he is scared of the deadly virus and that although his business plans were not concluded, he had to leave.

“Monrovia, unfinished biz (business); Leavin(g) tonite(tonight). Nt (Not) ashamed to admit. Tis ish(issue) scares the Jesus outta me. #Ebola!!!!” he said.

The contrast between Iyke's image of first class luxury is in stark contrast to the thousands of terrified Liberians who are living in fear of contracting the deadly disease.

However, much of the anger about his image stemmed from fear among Nigerian citizens that Iyke appeared to be travelling back to the country without having been tested to see if he was infected.
