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.
