According to local media several of the migrants said they were from Sierra Leone and Guinea - countries badly affected by the current ebola outbreak - and a number of them reported having symptoms associated with the disease.

Local authorities later confirmed none of the group were carrying the deadly virus, although four were taken to hospital with health issues.
