Liberian With Ebola Virus Intentionally Came To Nigeria? by oshokay(m): 9:29am On Aug 07, 2014
As a result of the death of Liberian Ebola victim, Patrick Sawyer in a Lagos hospital, there has been several people being infected with the Ebola virus whom he came in contact with directly or indirectly . One of the Nigerian nurses who attended him died on Tuesday and others are still in isolation .Yesterday, the minister of Health said he (Mr Sawyer) was aware he had the virus before embarking on his journey to Nigeria and some have claimed it was 'an intentional act of biological warfare'. Somehow he just happened to wander into one of the most populated and congested state in Nigeria with the Ebola virus.. definitely intentional. A new and extensive report by Front Page Africa chronicles his last hours in Lagos. Read below"Barely 24 hours before his death, Patrick Sawyer had a rather strange - and in the words of medical and diplomatic sources here, “Indiscipline” encounter with nurses and health workers at First Consultants Hospital in Obalende, one of the most crowded parts of Lagos, a population of some 21 million inhabitants.Looking to get to the bottom of Sawyer’s strange ailment on the Asky Airline flight, which Sawyer transferred on in Togo, hospital officials say, he was tested for both malaria and HIV AIDS.However, when both tests came back negative, he was then asked whether he had made contact with any person with the Ebola Virus, to which Sawyer denied. Sawyer’s sister, Princess had died of the deadly virus on Monday, July 7, 2014 at the Catholic Hospital in Monrovia. On Friday, July 25, 2014, 18 days later, Sawyer died in Lagos."Upon being told he had Ebola, Mr. Sawyer went into a rage, denying and objecting to the opinion of the medical experts“He was so adamant and difficult that he took the tubes from his body and took off his pants and urinated on the health workers, forcing them to flee."The hospital would later report that it resisted immense pressure to let out Sawyer from its hospital against the insistence from some higher-ups andconference organizers that he had a key role to play at the ECOWAS convention in Calabar, the Cross River State capital.In fact, FrontPageAfrica has been informed that officials in Monrovia were innegotiations with ECOWAS to have Sawyer flown back to Liberia.A text message in possession of FrontPageAfrica from the ECOWAS Ambassador in Liberia, responding to a senior GoL official reads: Your Excellency, the disease control department of the Federal Ministry of Health just contacted me through the hospital now, insisting that Mr. Sawyer be evacuated for now. Pls advise urgently.”In the aftermath of Sawyer’s death, diplomatic, ECOWAS and medical authorities here are baffled over Sawyer’s deception, especially armed with new information that his sister, Princess had died of the deadly virus and his denial. Finance Ministry sources in Monrovia are in quiet murmur over what they feel was a letdown by Sawyer for not being forthcoming with his peers he worked with.The ministry has since been temporarily shut down and those who came in contact with Sawyer are on a 21-day forced incubation monitoring process."All senior officials coming in direct or indirect contact with Mr. Sawyer has been placed on the prescribed 21 days of observatory surveillance," the ministry said in a statement this week.FrontPageAfrica has now learnt that Sawyer exhibited similar indiscipline behavior during his sister’s stay at the Catholic Hospital in Monrovia where she was taken because he noticed she was bleeding profusely and was later found to be a victim of Ebola.Sawyer was seen with blood on his clothing after his sister’s death and had earlier demanded that she be placed in a private room.President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf cited indiscipline and disrespect as a key reason why Sawyer contracted the Ebola virus. She said his failure to heed medical advice put the lives of other residents across the nation’s border at risk.
