Fresh information from Liberia suggests that the late Patrick Sawyer, the first man to die of Ebola in Nigeria, was in fact quarantined by Liberian health authorities prior to boarding a flight to Nigeria.

Patrick Sawyer of LiberiaPatrick Sawyer of Liberia ABC 5 THIS DAY reports that Liberian Minister of State II for Foreign Affairs, Sr. Nurudeen Mohammed, said that this information arose upon discussion of talks between President Johnson-Sirleaf and Nigeria's Ambassador to Liberia, Chigozie Oby-Nadozie. Sawyer's sister had allegedly died of the virus before his trip to Nigeria, a tragedy that is said to have been his method of contracting the virus.

Vice President of ECOWAS, Dr. Toga Mcintosh, further confirmed that Sawyer did in fact flee medical watch placed upon him after his sister's reported death. At a briefing today, Mcintosh said "because he had contact with somebody who died from Ebola, he was quarantined in his own country, but he evaded the quarantine and came to Nigeria."

The minister encourages affected West African countries to come together to combat the crisis, rather than shuffle the responsibility.

Sawyer is reported to have acted erratically and looked sick on CCTV footage from Liberia's James Spriggs Payne airport in Monrovia, Liberia, raising security suspicion there. Despite this, he was allowed to fly out of the country.

Even when he knew what his coming down to Nigeria will cost us, he proceeded to come and endanger our country, may God judge him for this.

Didn't Nigeria authority know there was Ebola epidemic in Liberia? And when they observed a sickly Liberian on the aircraft,why didn't the airline sectioned him immediately on the plane? Are the airlines not aware of such dangers when they fly into that country on regularly?

I blame the authorities for allowing this ni**g* (rip)

See as him head big like Dele Momodu own

That airline that brought him into this country..knowing his health status... should never be allow to fly into Nigeria forever.

He was just an unfortunate victim in all this.
Why call him a beast?
The man went to visit his dying sister, he is a MARRIED MAN.
I doubt he would have endangered his life if he knew what was to befall him.

Vex na! If you vex finish. . . .you log off!
Abi wetin you fit do pass dat?

Have you read the full story about this fellow? He was under full observation in Liberia, before sneaking into Nigeria, fully aware of his health status!

The questions we should be asking is, if this act is out of wickedness or ignorance. And since the Government of Liberia did apologize earlier this week, I advice the Nigerian Government should do the needful by demanding full compensation for the families of those who by one way or the other have been affected by this man's act of wickedness!

You dey craze!

Dem tell you say I be lab technologist? Meanwhile, if not a fishy stuff, why did the silly man come to Naija, I heard that he even fought with the doctor(s) that attended to him, he intentionally did that thing, and that is what your sorry yansh fail to understand. Oloshious fellow, he should rot in hell

He was a medical terrorist!

He's a Satanist

They should look for that his wife and all grown up members of his family and inject them with the Virus...

He knew he was sick but came to Nigeria. It was reported that he vomitted at the airport, laid on his stomach for a while at the airport and avoided contact with people.

Why then did he come to Nigeria? This is a case of medical terrorism. I bet he thought he'd get better medical attention in Nigeria than in Liberia. In as much as he is a stupid and wicked fellow that deserves no pity, why did our authorities allow him to land on our soil, knowing that he is sick and his country has ebola?

The attitude of Nigerians to their work should be reviewed. Our attitude of thinking that we are immune from certain disasters in our 'spirit of Naija' mantra should also be jettisoned. Let us be pro-active for once!

the guy should rot in the innermost part of downtown ghetto in hell.

in fact his body should be brought out, given 50 lashes save one of the cane, then shot in the head, since his body is unfit for dogs to eat, he should be fed to aids infested vultures, if they refuse, he should be mashed in pulp and flushed down a public toilet in downtown lagos.

nonsense.

a fool who deliberately exposed ppl to danger is not worth my sympathy, how will you try to console the family and kids of the innocent doctor and newly infected nurses?

devil may a55 fukkkccc him with a two headed dikkkcc for all I care

And his people will be busy shouting RIP Can someone who purposely came down to Nigeria to infect innocent people with a deadly virus ever find Peace He is aware of his sickness yet still went ahead to come down here for a conference God prevented him from attending that conference in Calabar, if not, Nigeria would Have been in a deeper shit

Thought they said he was a white man.

cococandy: Thought they said he was a white man.

Yeah he's a Liberian born American

See he head,Abeg make nobody like my post i hear say person fit get Ebola through Nairaland likes

Enough hating and cursing already, afterall the milk is spilt

cococandy: Thought they said he was a white man.

Who said

someone else would have brought it anyway.

since he knew he had d virus in him why still come to naija
dey said he was showing symptoms of ebola @ d airport and he was still allowed to board d flight....hmmmm or could it b dat he was sent here to spread ebola

It was just plain wickedness to be aware of an illness of such magnitude and its implications and deliberately expose others to it.

A single mistake could prove fatal,I don't really blame him,but our incompetent authorities that allow a medical terrorist in our nation starting from the airline,our border control unit,and our govt..a proactive measure should have been taken since it was reported in the other region.
