LAGOS (AFP) – The Federal Government on Wednesday
announced that a seventh person had died from Ebola
and another person was confirmed as having the virus.
The latest death was a patient at the isolation ward in
the oil city of Port Harcourt, where a doctor died on
August 22 after treating a man who had brought the
disease into the state.

Dr Ike Enemuo fell ill and died after treating an official
from the ECOWAS regional bloc who travelled to Port
Harcourt after having contact with a Liberian man who
brought the virus into Nigeria. The Enemuo’s wife
contacted the disease, which claimed the life of her
husband, Ike Enemuo, on August 22
The other five deaths were in the financial capital, Lagos.

Four were healthcare workers who had treated the
Liberian, who also died.
Health ministry spokesman Dan Nwomeh said 18 people,
including the deceased, had now been confirmed as
having the virus in Nigeria — 14 in Lagos and four in Port
Harcourt, 435 kilometres (270 miles) away.

The wife of the Port Harcourt doctor who died was being
treated at an isolation unit in Lagos, while another case
was in a quarantine facility in the oil industry hub.
Eight people who contracted the virus have been
successfully treated and discharged, Nwomeh said in a
series of statements on Twitter. A ninth person, who
infected the Port Harcourt doctor, also recovered.

A total of 41 people were under surveillance in Lagos
and 255 in Port Harcourt. And 320 people have been
discharged in Lagos after being under surveillance for 21
days — the virus’ incubation period.
