The World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared Nigeria Ebola free, after a 42 day period with no new cases.

On Friday, the UN health agency declared Senegal free of Ebola after it passed the 42 day landmark.

In all, eight people died out of 20 confirmed cases in Nigeria's biggest city, Lagos, and the oil hub of Port Harcourt, while nearly 900 people were monitored for signs of the disease.
