In total, the country has confirmed 21 cases since the start of the year with one death reported – a 40-year-old patient.
The cases were reported in nine states and the capital, Abuja.
The CDC said there was a case of a visitor who “exported monkeypox from Nigeria” to the UK. The case was detected on 6 May by British authorities.

Outbreaks of the virus have been found in Europe, Australia and America.
The symptoms often include a fever and rash – but the infection is usually mild.
