No fewer than 160 people are going through medical observation in Nigeria’s oil-producing hub Port Harcourt in Rivers State after a doctor died from the Ebola virus in the state, health authorities stated on Friday, 29 August, 2014.

Speaking on those being monitored for traces of the Ebola virus during a news conference in Port Harcourt on Friday, Rivers State Health Commissioner, Sampson Parker said: “As of today, none of them has shown symptoms of any kind. We are in touch with them constantly and they also call us to tell us their condition.”



It would be recalled that the Nigerian government had announced on Thursday that a doctor, Ikyke Samuel Enuemo, was Nigeria’s sixth person to die from the haemorrhagic fever and the first outside the country’s biggest city, Lagos.

According to the report, the late doctor fell ill after treating an official from the ECOWAS regional bloc, who travelled to Port Harcourt after coming into contact with a Liberian-American man, late Patrick Sawyer, who brought the virus into Nigeria and died on 25 July, 2014.

It was gathered that the deceased slipped through the surveillance net in Lagos and went to Port Harcourt.

Enuemo’s wife, who gave birth only three months ago, is ill with symptoms of the disease and has been placed in quarantine.

Parker informed that she requested to be moved out of Port Harcourt for “emotional reasons” and has been taken to an isolation unit in Lagos for further observation and treatment.

“She is also a doctor. Her three-month-old baby is alive and well. The result of the test conducted on her (for Ebola) is not yet out,” he added.

Rivers state has a quarantine centre at Oduoha, about 25 kilometres (16 miles) east of the city as well as a special isolation ward for Ebola patients at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH).

Neither has received any patient, Parker said.

A mobile laboratory has arrived in the city while the hotel where the ECOWAS official was treated has been decontaminated, as have the hospital where Enuemo was treated, his house and the morgue at UPTH.

According to latest statement from health authorities, six people have so died from the Ebola disease in Nigeria.

Specialists from the World Health Organization, WHO, the United States and Britain are reported to have joined experts from the Nigerian government in Rivers State to check the spread of the virus.

Port Harcourt is the centre of Nigeria’s oil industry and is home to a number of oil majors, including Anglo-Dutch giant Shell, France’s Total and US firm Chevron.

Australian Who Negotiated For Chibok Girls Release Speaks About Boko Haram Sponsors

Negotiator Dr. Stephen Davis believes Boko Haram might make a move to establish contact with the world terrorist groups Al Shabaab and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and alleges the insurgents are sponsored by some Nigerian politici

According to Punch, while Al Shabaab has taken over most of Southern Somalia in 2006, the Iraqi ISIS along with Al-Qaeda is considered the most violent Jihad group in the world.

Experts continue comparing Boko Haram strategy with the one of the most dreaded international terrorist groups and now Davis, allegedly secretly hired by President Goodluck Jonathan in the past to negotiate on the release of Chibok girls, comments on the sect tactics.

Who is Dr. Stephen Davis?

The 63-year-old Australian expert had acted as a negotiator not only in the Chibok issue but also as an adviser for Olusegun Obasanjo and Shehu Yar’Adua. Davis spent 4 intense months in the North-East and his life was subject to extreme danger while he tried to rescue more than 200 school girls kidnapped by Boko Haram on April 14. He returned with rare footage of the intense fighting in the region, Yahoo recalls.

Expert about Boko Haram moves and sponsors

With a PhD in political geography and years of experience behind, Davis in a recent interview with Radio Australia explained that the main aim for the Nigerian authorities was now to block Boko Haram funding and find its sponsors, alleging that some banks and politicians are among them. Davis said that many of the insurgency sponsors were in the opposition adding that the President should try to prosecute them, which would be hard though.

“That makes it easier in some ways as they can be arrested, but of course the onus of proof is high and many are in opposition, so if the President moves against them, he would be accused of trying to rig the elections due early next year. So, I think this (insurgency) will run through to the election unabated. These politicians think that if they win power they can turn these terrorists off, but this has mutated. It’s no longer a case of Muslims purifying by killing off Christians. They are just killing indiscriminately, beheading, disembowelling people – men, women and children and whole villages.”

He added however that the dreaded Nigerian sector is gradually getting out of its sponsors’ control and aims at linking up with the infamous world terrorist groups.

“Terror groups are linking up in Somalia, southern Sudan, Egypt and we have fairly strong evidence they are talking with ISIS members. They will link up with ISIS and Al Shabaab and I think that what we are seeing in that region is the new homeland of radical Islam in the world.”

Davis about Chibok mission

When asked about his experience of acting as a negotiator for the released of school girls abducted in Borno, the expert narrated how his life had been jeopardized on numerous occasions and how the Australian passport saved him from being killed.

“When confronted by groups with an AK-47 in my face they’d say, ‘you are American, we have to kill you. When you say, no I’m not American, they think you are British, and say you will still die, but when I said I’m Australian, they said that’s all right. I have no idea why but it’s certainly been helpful.”

Davis also revealed how the rescue of some girls was sabotaged after it had been almost carried out.

“They [Boko Haram commanders] told me they would be prepared to release some as a goodwill gesture towards a peace deal with the government, so I went to Nigeria on the basis of being able to secure their release. The girls were there, 60 girls. There were 20 vehicles with girls. We travelled for four-and-a-half hours to reach them, but 15 minutes before we arrived, they were kidnapped again by another group who wanted to cash in on a reward. The police had offered a reward of several million naira just 24 hours before we went to pick them up. I understand, from the Boko Haram commanders I spoke to, the girls eventually ended up back with them. I don’t know what happened to the group that took them but I suspect it wasn’t good.”

The majority of girls, except for those who managed to escape from the terrorists, are still held in captivity. The military have been repeating for months that they located the children’s whereabouts, adding that they do not want to use force to rescue them alive. Despite both national and global attempts, the sad truth remains unchanged: the girls have been missing for more than 4 months.

Comparing Boko Haram and IS

Various reports circulating in the media refer to analysts alleging that the Nigerian group imitates Islamic State in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. The similarities became even more evident after Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau had declared Islamic caliphate in Gwoza in the new video obtained by AFP this Sunday, August 24.

Some analysts insist that his claim was connected with his attempt to find more media attention like IS which gained headlines of world famous newspapers after having recently seized parts of Iraq and Syria in a brutal onslaught.

chemali: Watch the clip on Arise TV. El-Rufai only quoted what was said by the negotiator. Or is Ihejirika saying El Rufai paid the guy to make the allegations?
