]]> Ebola fears mount in Nigeria’s oil hub as the disease reaches a second city in Africa’s most populous country.

A doctor in the Niger Delta who knew he was infected with the virus continued to treat patients.

Nigeria’s Ebola outbreak was initially restricted to the commercial capital Lagos.

It was brought in by a man from Liberia.

Now there’s tension in the oil hub of Port Harcourt where a doctor, infected with the virus transmitted it to at least two patients he continued to treat.

More than 250 other are at risk as a result of this.

Nigerians fear the virus could spread even further.

Seven people in that country are among the 2 000 killed by Ebola in the latest outbreak which is the worst the world has experienced.
