The West African country reported at least three cases in recent travelers. It also initially said it had found an Omicron case from October, a statement it later withdrew.
The sample, found in retrospective sequencing of previously confirmed cases, was collected weeks before the variant was first reported by researchers in southern Africa.
Vaccines are finally available in many African countries, but some people there, as well as in South Asia, are wary of taking them.
