About 850 Nigerian soldiers on peacekeeping mission in Liberia are to be quarantined for 28 days when they return to the country in March 2015.
There are two battalions of the Nigerian Army in Liberia. Investigations revealed that soldiers in one of the battalions were drawn from the 331 Artillery Regiment, Kontagora.
A source said on Sunday that the Army personnel were scheduled to return to the country in January but that their arrival would be delayed till March 2015.
According to the source, when they arrive in the country in March 2015, they will be quarantined in Gwagwalada, Abuja for 28 days before being allowed to go to their formations.
It was gathered that the soldiers returning from a similar mission in Sudan were not likely to be quarantined because Sudan had not recorded any Ebola case.
