It has been revealed that the late Patrick Sawyer who was Nigeria’s index case for the Ebola virus was actually under surveillance by the Liberian health authorities, even though he still managed to board a flight heading outside his country. The Minister of State II for Foreign Affairs, Dr. Nurudeen Mohammed said this while relaying a conversation between Liberian President Ellen Sirleaf Johnson and Nigeria’s Ambassador to Liberia, Ambassador Chigozie Oby-Nadozie. According to Mohammed, President Sirleaf Johnson in a telephone conversation with Nadozie had expressed regrets at the circumstances through which the virus had been brought to Nigeria by Sawyer who was under surveillance. There have been reports that Sawyer’s sister had died of the virus. http://nnd.ng/1olKrQK
