New fact has emerged about the cause of the Ebola virus outbreak in Sierra Leone. According to health officials, the outbreak need never have spread from Guinea, health officials revealed to AFP, except for a herbalist in the remote eastern border village of Sokoma.

“She was claiming to have powers to heal Ebola. Cases from Guinea were crossing into Sierra Leone for treatment,” Mohamed Vandi, the top medical official in the hard-hit district of Kenema, told AFP.

“She got infected and died. During her funeral, women around the other towns got infected.”

Africans have turned to God, in the fight against Ebola virus. many have turned to churches, mosques and even native voodoo medicine.

Last week Saturday, the founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations in Lagos, T.B. Joshua, one of Nigeria’s controversial and richest preachers according to Forbes, announced that he sent more than 4,000 bottles of his powerful anointing water, which users claimed had worked many miracles, to help victims of the deadly EVD in Sierra Leone and Liberia.

“Prophet T.B. Joshua announced in The SCOAN Saturday Prayer Line that 4,000 bottles of New Anointing Water have arrived in the nation of Sierra Leone, alongside $50,000 in humanitarian aid, to support the ongoing crises there caused by the disease of Ebola,” stated a post on the Facebook page of TB Joshua Ministries.

“The Anointing Water was sent in a private jet that cost an additional $50,000 to charter, making $100,000 given by Prophet T.B. Joshua and the Emmanuel TV Partners to reach out to the troubled nation,” it added.
