Already, the  state government   has set up a rapid response  committee in all the 16 local government councils  that would embark on the project in order to verify the medical report of the  dead people being brought to the state.

  

The state commissioner for Health, Alhaji Kayode Issa disclosed this in Ilorin on Thursday while speaking with journalists on the preventive measures being put in place by the government against importing Ebola  deadly disease into the state.
