A photo of Olu-Ibukun Koye, the Nigerian diplomat working for ECOWAS,
who escaped quarantine in Lagos and left for Port Harcourt has surfaced
online.
The
Nigerian diplomat was attached to the Economic Community of West African
States (ECOWAS), Olubukun Koye escaped from quarantine in Lagos
after testing positive to Ebola virus and travelled to Port Harcourt for
treatment – an action that resulted in the death of the doctor who
treated him (Iyke Enemuo) may face manslaughter charges.
This is
coming on the heels of reports that the number of persons under
surveillance in the state for Ebola Virus Disease has increased from 100
to 160.
According
to Thisday, sources said that the issue of Koye (a primary contact of
the index case, late Liberian Partick Sawyer) who defied instruction and
left Lagos after being placed in the isolation unit, was discussed at
the Federal Executive Committee meeting on Wednesday and that the
Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation was directed
to look into the Nigerian laws and see how he could be sanctioned for
his action that resulted in the death of Enemuo.
