Reports of Ebola outbreaks in affected communities have been associated with rumors, fear, poor perception on the disease and stigmatization of Ebola survivors in their host communities. The depth of knowledge of Ebola Viral disease (EVD) among community members will influence the making of informed decision regarding risky behavioral practices and attitude to survivors. This study was a cross-sectional study using multistage sampling technique to select a total of 1190 respondents from the two area councils of the Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria. Pre-tested questionnaire with 10-point knowledge score on Ebola, 10 point attitude, 6 point scale on practice and 5 point scale on perception was administered by trained interviewers to respondents. Mean age of respondents was 29.61 ± 7.51years. 97.3% were aware of EVD. Media (81.7%) was respondent’s first source of information on EVD and the most trusted (80.4%). Majority (82.1%) of the respondents had good knowledge of EVD. A good number (83.3%) also showed poor attitude to survivors of Ebola while thirty-eight (3.2%) of respondents had poor practice towards EVD prevention. About 96.3% of respondents had a high perception score. Although Knowledge of Ebola was high, media campaigns needs to be structured and targeted to meet gaps in attitude so as to avoid stigmatization and its attendant consequences by host communities towards Ebola survivors.
