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 told
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 outspoken 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.
