Just imagine the big problem Patrick Sawyer has
brought to Nigeria. How sad! The wife Dr Iyke
Enemuo, who died in Port Harcourt last week
Friday after treating a diplomat who had contact
with the primary contact, Mr Patrick Sawyer, has
tested positive to the Ebola virus disease.
Rivers State commissioner for health Dr
Sampson Parker said the widow of Dr Enemuo
had been flown to Lagos for treatment where the
National Treatment Centre for the Ebola virus is
located, since the test of the result conducted on
her indicated positive.
As at the last check, we gathered
that the Federal Government has not given
Lagos State any money from the released funds
to fight Ebola, yet Lagos is championing the
fight. Kudos to Governor Babatunde Fashola and
his team for a job well done, so far.
“When news got to Mr Koye that the doctor
that treated him in Port Harcourt had died,
he collapsed . It was then he opened up
and confessed that Dr Enemuo had treated
him when he travelled to Port Harcourt. He
confessed that he sneaked out of
quarantine to Port Harcourt.”
Speaking on the state of the late Doctor's wife,
Rivers State commissioner for health said:
“We transferred her to Lagos for two reasons:
she wanted to leave this zone and, second, we
transferred her to enable us concentrate on
tracking those who have had secondary contacts
with Koye. There is a perfect synergy between
the federal and the Rivers State governments on
combating the disease in Lagos.”
Dr. Sampson Parker said the late Enemuo knew
that Mr Koye, who works with the ECOWAS was
a carrier of the dreaded Ebola virus when he was
treating him.
In his words: “From what we have gathered so
far, Dr Enemuo, knowing full well that Koye was
positive of the Ebola virus, took some measure
of precaution to protect himself while treating
Koye. Knowing the enormity of what he was
doing, Dr Enemuo, upon Koye’s departure for
Lagos, poured bleach all over the room that
Koye slept in order to sanitise the place.
“Upon developing the Ebola symptom, Dr
Enemuo approached one of our colleagues for
treatment at Green Heart Hospital, along Evoh
Road, in GRA. Dr Enemuo did not tell the doctor
that was treating him the truth. He merely told
him that he had a fever. He lied . He did not tell
the doctor that was treating him his full story.
“But the doctor, a nice and conscientious
professional, suspected that Dr Enemuo was
either hiding something or was suffering from a
strange ailment because he proved negative to
malaria fever and typhoid fever. To be sure of
what he was doing, he spoke to other very
experienced doctors about the strange case he
was handling in his hospital.
“He even invited some of his colleagues to come
over to his hospital to study Dr Enemuo’s
medical history. Of course, the news of the Ebola
virus was everywhere, so, they were afraid to go.
None of them showed up at the hospital where
Dr Enemuo was being treated. His condition
continued to deteriorate and he eventually died
and his body was taken to the University of Port
Harcourt Teaching Hospital, UPTH."
The commissioner for health stated that 60 more
people who had secondary contact with Koye
were quarantined last night bringing the total so
far to 160, adding: “Our contact tracing team is
working seriously to make sure we contain the
spread of the Ebola virus in Rivers State.”

Blame her deceased Dr husband and not Patrick Sawyer for this. The husband knew what he was dealing with but greed and lack of professionalism made him to risk his life plus his family's.

It would have been a different case if he didn't know that the diplomat was EVD patient. He knew and he made his choice.

According to the FG, Dr. Iyke was aware his patient was ebola positive. Still, he went on to "secretly" treat the patient. So he and he alone has brought this upon his widow. Not Patrick. Dr. Iyke should have known better

The evil that men do, lives after them.

health professional endangering public health safety selfishly.

I hope the Dr Enjoys spending the monry wherever he is....
