Obi Justina Ejelonu, a nurse who attended to Patrick Sawyer, a
Liberian-American Ebola carrier who flew to Nigeria on his way to
attend a conference in Calabar, has died. Her relatives rang
SaharaReporters moments ago with news that she passed away this
morning. Ms. Ejelonu had been kept in a quarantine facility in Lagos.
Until her death, the outdpoken nurse was at the center of a campaign
to get the Zmapp experimental drugs to Ebola victims in Nigeria. John
Okiyi-Kalu started the Internet campaign a few days ago.
Ms. Ejelonu was one of the primary contacts with Patrick Sawyer at a
Lagos Hospital where he received treatment after he was rushed from
the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos where he collapsed. She was
aged 25, her relatives said.
