The fiancé of a nurse who died of Ebola
has been discharged from the Ebola
treatment center in Lagos this evening
after his third test came out negative.
Dennis, who was late Justina Obi Ejelonu's
fiancé had been quarantined and later
admitted into treatment after two tests
confirmed that he was positive.
However, this evening Dennis was
discharged from the treatment center
with a certificate of clearance. He walked
off the center in good health according
top doctors who spoke anonymously with
Saharareporters.
A second spouse of a deceased doctor
who had primary contact with Liberian -
American Thomas Sawyer who was
admitted yesterday with Dennis remains
hospitalized at the center, currently
undergoing treatment.
Dennis story is a powerful one, he refused
to abandon his fiancé despite her being
diagnosed with Ebola.
He told Saharareporters that Justina lost a
two-month pregnancy, vomited severally
on him while she collapsed and had to be
carried to hospital by him. After, Justina
was admitted he hung around the
hospital , occasionally going into the
Ebola ward cater for her as nurses and
doctors abandoned the nurse to her fate
at the treatment center.
Fourteen days after Justina died, Dennis
had high temperature, instead of
panicking he turned himself in to the
treatment center for observation. An
initial test led the center to quarantine
him, and a second test came positive
leading the center to admit him to
treatment but this evening he was fully
discharged after a third test carried out by
international affiliates of the center came
out negative.
