Pandemonium at Lagos Airport as passenger slumps, dies

A Nigerian passenger who was about boarding an Arik Air flight back to Accra, Ghana slumped and died yesterday moments after undergoing a screening to assertain his Ebola virus status.

The incident Daily Sun gathered occurred at the international wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Ikeja, Lagos. But the result later indicated he was Ebola negative.

The death of the passenger whose name was given as Mr. Akunne Osei, created panic among other passengers and health care workers that another Ebola virus victim had died at the airport and might have infected the few persons that had come in contact with him.

The death of this Nigerian passenger caused a very serious pandemonium at the airport as people ran for their lives leaving the corpse to lie unattended to for several hours for fear that the deceased would have been killed by Ebola virus.

Ebola Virus: Kwara reports suspected case in Ilorin

Thursday, 14 August 2014 22:02
Written by Abiodun Fagbemi, Ilorin
Category: National

KWARA State government Thursday announced the discovery of a suspected case of Ebola virus in Ilorin.

The suspected case, a boy of seven months old, was said to have been treated for fever at a private hospital in the town.

His mother was said to have travelled from Ibadan, the Oyo State capital to Ilorin when the boy fell ill.

When the condition did no improve after two days on admission as he persisted in stooling and vomiting, he was referred to a pediatrician who is the proprietor of another clinic.

After spending about three hours in the referred hospital, according to the Senior Special Assistant on Public Health to Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed, Prof. Sunday Opakunle, the proprietor of the clinic said there were traces of blood in the stool, and quickly alerted the Ebola Committee on the development.

According to Opakunle at a press briefing in Ilorin, ?ordinarily the symptoms could have been something else, but in view of the prevailing global scourge on Ebola, we decided not to take chances on it. We moved into action, by evacuating the baby and the mother to our isolated ward for Ebola at Sobi Specialist Hospital where the boy is placed on examination and treatment. Besides, we have sealed the clinics for a few days and de contaminated them.?

He disclosed that no history of contact was established between the patient as none of those around the baby was symptomatic.

He said the next stage was to conduct examination and Laboratory Medical Imaging on him.

Opabola said, the samples of the baby had been sent to Lagos, Redeemer University and Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) with a promise that the results would be made available ?later today.?

Nigerian doctor clear of Ebola, 5 others recover
Aug 16 2014 - 10:58pm

It has not been all bleak news about the Ebola virus pandemic. In Nigeria, the week is closing with something to cheer as Nigeria?s Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, on Saturday announced that the first Nigerian confirmed to have contracted the Ebola virus has been discharged after full recovery.

Chukwu, who briefed newsmen in Lagos, said the patient was discharged ?after conclusive discharge protocols??, adding that she could go home to resume her normal life.

Five other Ebola patients have almost fully recovered, he said.

A female doctor not identified by the minister, had attended to the Liberian, Mr Patrick Sawyer, who brought the disease to Nigeria.

Chukwu said that Nigeria had recorded 12 confirmed cases, four deaths and 189 persons under surveillance in Lagos, and six persons under surveillance in Enugu.

He said that all the persons under surveillance were secondary contacts.

?All the patients under treatment have now moved to the new 40-bed capacity isolated ward provided by the Lagos State Government. Additional equipment has also been made available to the new isolating ward by the Federal Government??, he said...

Font Size: a / A

Ameyo Stella Adadevoh

Dr. Ameyo Adadevoh, the consultant physician, who had contracted the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) from the Liberian, Mr. Patrick Sawyer, who imported the virus into Nigeria, is dead.

Sources close to Adadevoh, 58, said she succumbed to the disease Tuesday evening.

Adadevoh led the medical team at First Consultants Medical Centre, a Lagos-based hospital, that treated Sawyer.
She was said to have fallen into a coma on Monday and despite the valiant battle by the medical team to save her, she could not survive the scourge of the disease.

Her passing brings the total number of deaths from the Ebola virus to five in Nigeria.

Ebola spreads in Nigeria with 2 new cases

Associated Press

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) ? Two alarming new cases of Ebola have emerged in Nigeria, widening the circle of people sickened beyond the immediate group of caregivers who treated a dying airline passenger in one of Africa's largest cities.

The two new cases were infected by their spouses, both medical workers who had direct contact with Liberian-American Patrick Sawyer, who flew into Nigeria from Liberia and Togo and infected 11 others before he died in July. The male and female caregivers also then died of Ebola, Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu said Friday.

Nigerian officials initially claimed the risk of exposure to others was minimal because Sawyer was whisked into isolation after arriving at the airport. But Lagos state health commissioner Jide Idris later acknowledged that Sawyer was not immediately quarantined when he arrived, because doctors didn't suspect Ebola at that point.
