Mr. Patrick Sawyer, a WASH consultant at the Ministry of Finance, who had been quarantined since arriving Lagos, Nigeria on Sunday, July 20, 2014 with symptoms of the Ebola virus, has died .

A Liberian government official, speaking on condition of anonymity said the news of Sawyer’s death was relayed to Liberia by the Nigerian embassy, in the early hours of Friday, July 25, 2014.

The Lagos government health authorities announced on Thursday, July 24, 2014 that Sawyer was being tested for the deadly Ebola virus.

Sawyer’s death is the first recorded case of one of the world’s deadliest diseases in Nigeria, Africa’s biggest economy and most populous nation, with 170 million people.

Ebola has killed 632 people across Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone since an outbreak began in February, straining a string of weak health systems despite international help.

Anyone coming in to Nigeria from those 3 countries (guinea, sieria leonne and liberia) needs to be given "special" treatment by the quarantine services at the ports.

Truly, something will definitely kill man but Ebola virus? No! No!! Its a terrible way to die.

Who is this ebola i keep hearing about , is it another terrorist, Is it on Youtube.
Oga ebola... be careful, our hands are full with shekau and co.

Please tell the President to deploy "white coat troops" in Lagos, but that Might not be possible cos they are on strike(NMA).

Rip to Mr Patrick ,May God grant Your family the fortitude to bear the loss

should i rejoice now or should i be sad?

RIP mr man

This morning an ebola patient was brought to a private clinic, the sister said to the receptionist my brother has ebola the doctor being a yoruba man shouted from his office EBOKINI? Olorunmaje ki ari oriburuku he ran out of the hospital everybody followed including women in labor and Hiv patients.

Jus hope it will remain d ONLY Ebola case in d country. We've got our hands full already.

How did a flight from Liberia enter Nigeria without proper entry point checks. The quarantine people will ask about all kind of things yet a man from Liberia can freely walk into Nigeria and cause a public health emergency? This is really serious trouble now.

I dont know whether to be happy or sad. I just hope d infection has not changed hands.

Did he enter Nigeria via a chartered flight? Hope he didn't infect any of his co-passengers during the flight to Nigeria?

The Land Borders nko?

Are there no good news in Nigeria anymore?

good or bad news?

Now only God knows how many people have contacted this deadly disease from him?
Terrible! No shaking hands unnecessarily again.

Rip Mr Patrick
