Nigeria's National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) confirmed two suspected Ebola cases in the northeast region, per Reuters. The cases were identified following routine health screenings at a local hospital.

The Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has initiated contact tracing and is monitoring close contacts of those affected, Bloomberg reports. Authorities are working to contain potential spread amid heightened public concern.

Abuja airport staff reportedly excreted 200 wraps of cocaine during security checks, NDLEA said per Gazettengr.com. The incident triggered a major investigation into drug trafficking networks operating through the capital's international hub.

The thunderstorm in Abuja has caused minor disruptions to operations at the airport, with officials noting delays in outbound flights due to weather-related safety protocols, per open-meteo.
