Minister of Information and Culture, LAI MOHAMMED in a statement said Nigerians should disregard the report which, he alleged was apparently being spread by those he described as unscrupulous persons to fit into a sinister agenda.
He said the Federal Government has not conducted any free medical service or care in either Bayelsa or Rivers state, as alleged in the fake report being circulated.
MOHAMMED said Monkeypox is a virus found only in monkeys and it is rare in human beings and is suspected that someone may have contracted it by eating monkey meat, thus triggering the current outbreak.
He assured that no effort will be spared in curtailing the spread of the disease.
