Yesterday we found out that the first recorded victim of Ebola in Nigeria had died on Friday 25th July. The Liberian man, Patrick Sawyer flew into Nigeria on Sunday 20th July unknowingly bringing the dreaded disease along with him.
According to reports, Mr Sawyer’s sister died from the Ebola virus three weeks ago in Liberia. Mr Sawyer said he didn't come into contact with her. However we do know Ebola can also be spread from dead bodies, which is why Lagos State Health official cremated the body of Patrick Sawyer to contain the disease and avoid it spreading.
As it stands, Ebola is a serious disease that often leads to death. There is no vaccine or cure, may God helps us all, but you also have to help yourself.
