The Sudanese authorities have denied 26 Nigerians entry
into their country over suspicion that they might have
been infected by the dreaded Ebola Virus Disease, one of
those repatriated has told PREMIUM TIMES.
Hauwa’u Ibrahim Bakori, a second year student of
Pharmacy at Al Ahfad University for Women, Omdurman,
said she and 25 others were denied entry after arriving
Khartoum Airport on Wednesday.
They were detained, and then deported to Nigeria on
Thursday, Ms. Bakori said.
Ms Bakori is in her second year at the Sudanese university
and had travelled to Nigeria on holidays.
The Nigerians had travelled to Khartoum via an Ethiopian
Airline flight ET 910 from Abuja on Wednesday, travelling
via Addis Ababa.
But on arrival in Khartoum, authorities seized their
passports, and arranged boarding passes for them to return
to Nigeria. They were sent back to the Nigerian capital via
the same Ethiopian Airline on Thursday.
They were not tested for Ebola, Ms. Bakori said.
The Sudanese government took the measure even though
the World Health Organisation declared Nigeria free of
Ebola since October 20.
The Sudanese authorities and the Nigerian foreign ministry
could not be reached to comment for this story at this time.
The global body said Nigeria completed an extended 42 –
day observation period and called the country’s ability to
contain a deadly virus a “spectacular success”.
“The lines on the tabular situation reports, sent to WHO
each day by its country office in Nigeria, have now been
full of zeros for 42 days,” WHO said in a statement October
20.
“This is a spectacular success story that shows that Ebola
can be contained. The story of how Nigeria ended what
many believed to be potentially the most explosive Ebola
outbreak imaginable is worth telling in detail.”
Ebola was imported to Nigeria by a Liberian-American
man, Patrick Sawyer, July 20.
Mr. Sawyer arrived in Lagos and infected medical staff
who attended to him after he fell ill at the airport.
Nigeria recorded 19 cases of the virus, out of which seven
died, amongst them doctors and nurses.
Nigeria has not recorded a new case since October 2.
