Sunday’s unrest continued throughout the day, the reporters said.
The treatment centre, in a hospital compound, was the same place that was targeted overnight on Friday into Saturday, when an isolation tent was set ablaze.
The body of a dead Ebola victim is highly infectious and can lead to the virus spreading further when prepared for burial.
There have been more than 900 suspected Ebola cases in the current outbreak and 220 suspected deaths, officials say.
According to Mongwalu General Hospital’s medical director Dr Richard Lokudu, Sunday’s attackers demanded the bodies of two people be given to their families.
He told the Associated Press news agency that the hospital was on “general alert”.
One of the dead was a Catholic shepherd, who was a “well-known local figure – a religious leader”, a hospital official told AFP news agency.
Suspicion of the authorities and scepticism about the cause of death has led to deep distrust among some in the communities currently affected by Ebola.
On Thursday, crowds set fire to isolation tents in hospital in Rwampara – a town 85km south-east of Mongwalu where cases are also concentrated – after they were prevented from taking the body of a man thought to have died from Ebola, away for burial.
