Patrick Sawyer died in a Lagos hospital on July 25 after coming in for a
conference
Reports have it that Liberian-American, Patrick Sawyer,
who brought the Ebola Virus into Nigeria, knew that he was sick before he
embarked on the trip from his country.
This
disclosure was made by the Nigerian Minister
of Health, Onyebuchi
Chukwu, during an emergency meeting with the House of Representatives Committee on
Health over the Ebola
outbreak.
Chukwu
also said that Mr. Sawyer had been advised not to travel by the Liberian Health Ministry
but he ignored the directive. A previous report claimed that the 40-year-old
naturalized American had been seen stained with his sister's blood after she
died from Ebola.
The
disease has claimed 2 lives in Nigeria and the outbreak has been described as a
national emergency.
