Another lucky escape! The boyfriend of one of the nurse who
died of Ebola Virus 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.
But God saved him. On Saturday evening. Dennis was
discharged from the treatment center with a certificate of clearance. He left
the center in good health according to doctors who spoke anonymously with SR.
Dennis story is a powerful one, he refused to abandon his
fiancé despite her being diagnosed with Ebola...
He told Sahara Reporters that the late 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 to 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.
