Mr. Patrick Sawyer, pictured above is a WASH consultant at the Ministry of Finance, who had
been quarantined since arriving Lagos,
Nigeria on
Sunday, July 20, 2014 with symptoms of the Ebola virus has died.
A Liberian government official, speaking on condition of anonymity said the
news of Sawyer’s death was relayed to Liberia by the Nigerian embassy, in
the early hours of Friday, July 25, 2014.
The Lagos
government health authorities announced on
Thursday, July 24, 2014 that Sawyer was being tested for the deadly Ebola
virus.
Sawyer’s death is the first recorded case of one of the world’s deadliest
diseases in Nigeria, Africa’s biggest economy and most populous nation, with
170 million people.
Ebola has killed 632 people across Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone since an outbreak began in February, straining a string of weak health systems despite international help.
