The Police Support Unit (PSU) officer (named withheld) whose wife reportedly died from the deadly Ebola virus has been transferred to the Ebola Treatment Center at ELWA Hospital.
The Officer was taken to the treatment center Tuesday, September 2, 2014, days after his wife died.
There are reports that following the death of the officer's wife, their son began to show signs of the virus and was taken at the treatment center where he later died.
Sources told this paper Wednesday that their elder daughter also contracted the virus from the son. The sources said the daughter was asked to tote her brother from the Barracks on board a vehicle to the treatment center in the presence of the Ebola Response Team, something which may have caused the girl to contract the disease.
