SaharaReporters has learned that a sister
of a Port Harcourt-based medical doctor,
Iyke Enemuo, who recently died from the
Ebola virus, fled to Abia State to avoid
being quarantined along with others who
came into contact with the late doctor.

The woman helped care for her doctor brother as he suffered from the debilitating disease caused by the Ebola virus.

At least 200 people who came in contact with Dr.
Enemuo, who died last Friday in Port Harcourt, have been placed in quarantine for close medical watch.

Dr. Enemuo had contracted the virus when he was
secretly treating a staff of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) who, in turn, had had contact with Patrick Sawyer, a Liberian-American who initially brought the disease into Nigeria. Mr. Sawyer had slumped at the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos shortly after arriving there on July 20. He was rushed to a Lagos Hospital where he died five days later. A doctor, Ameyo Stella Adadevoh, and two nurses who helped care for Mr. Sawyer in Lagos have also died.
SaharaReporters discovered that the ECOWAS
diplomat who had had contact with Mr. Sawyer flew
to Port Harcourt the same day the Liberian
American died, and met up with Dr. Enemuo.
Apparently aware of the deadly nature of the
disease afflicting the diplomat, Dr. Enemuo opted to treat him secretly at a local hotel.

After recovering, the ECOWAS staff flew back to
Lagos to seek clearance to travel out of Nigeria.
Quarantined and checked for Ebola in Lagos, he was found to be free of the virus. However, a few days after he left Port Harcourt, Dr. Enemuo took ill and was hospitalized at Good Health Hospital in Port Harcourt where he died of the disease.

The hospital has been closed down, and close to 70
people immediately quarantined by Nigerian health
officials. However, as at last night, more than 200
people who had been in contact with Dr. Enemuo and
the ECOWAS diplomat had been quarantined as well.

Dr. Enemuo’s wife recently took ill with Ebola
symptoms.

see wahala o. that doctor is very wicked o. treating ebola patient in a hotel ke? and i am sure they changed his sheets, he used hotel towels, prolly used spoons and plates from the hotel. when he recovered the cleaners entered that room to prep it for another client too. see how evil that doctor dey? all for money o.

I don't just understand the rationale behind Ebola victims fleeing, so as to escape being quarantined.

As a result they infect other innocent people... I actually blame dat doctor that treated the ECOWAS man in a local hotel... Will he say he did not know d deadliness of the virus?

May God help us!!!
