A doctor, who secretly treated a diplomat who had contact with the index case, Liberian-American Patrick Sawyer, has died of Ebola in Nigeria.
The doctor, who has yet to be named, died on Friday. His wife has also taken ill and has been quarantined in Port Harcourt. Interestingly, the diplomat the doctor treated is still alive.
The diplomat, who was part of the team who met with Patrick Sawyer in Lagos, flew to Port Harcourt, Rivers State for treatment, evading Nigerian federal government surveillance for the disease. The late doctor then took him to a hotel for treatment.
As a result of this, 70 people have been quarantined. The doctor’s hospital, Good Heart Hospital in Rivers State, has been shut down. The unnamed hotel, where the secret treatment took place, has also been shut down.
The Minister of Health and the Rivers State government are expected to make a statement on the incident today.

Your continious eagerness to manufacture gossips and call it news is becoming worrisome to me and the public. Please stop insulting our intelligence. Where in Port – Harcourt, Name of the hospital nil- the doctors name nil – the hotels name nil. We are not privy to informations about our own safety. We are sick of the press,on their half baked ill information, we sick and tired of these Ebola Bullshit, we are sick of the security challenges around us. We have heard enough.
