Economic Community of West African States [ECOWAS] has announced the death of one of its staff, Jatto Abdulqudir, who died of the dreaded Ebola virus.
A file photo taken on June 28, 2014 shows a member of Doctors Without Borders (MSF) putting on protective gear at the isolation ward of the Donka Hospital in Conakry, where people infected with the Ebola virus are being treated. Guinea announced on August 9, 2014 it was closing its land borders with Liberia, Sierra Leone over Ebola fears. AFP PHOTO
“Mr Abdulqudir, a protocol assistant, was among those who assisted the Liberian delegate to a regional meeting Mr Patrick Sawyer, who died from the Ebola Virus Disease at a Lagos hospital on 25th July 2014.”
The death of the ECOWAS official has now brought to three the number of people who died of Ebola in Nigeria.
The first two were Mr. Sawyer, who brought the Ebola virus into Nigeria, and one of the nurses who treated him at the First Consultant Hospital in Lagos.
Sawyer was to have attended an ECOWAS meeting and Abdulqudir escorted him to hospital in the Ikoyi neighbourhood from Lagos airport, where he arrived on a flight from Monrovia via the Togolese capital, Lome
Read ECOWAS full statement on the passing of the late Mr. Abdulqudir below.
“The ECOWAS Commission announces with deep regret the passing of a staff member of its Lagos Liaison Office, Mr. Jatto Asihu Abdulqudir, aged 36.
“Mr. Abdulqudir, a Protocol Assistant, was among those who assisted the Liberian delegate to a regional meeting Mr. Patrick Sawyer, who died from the Ebola Virus Disease at a Lagos hospital on 25th July 2014.
“Mr. Abdulqudir had been under quarantine following that sad incident.
“The Commission wishes to use this opportunity to express its gratitude to Nigerian government authorities and others who contributed to managing the late official while under quarantine. The Management of the Commission wishes to commiserate with Mr. Abdulqudir’s family and colleagues and prays for the repose of his soul.
“Before this sad event, the Commission working in collaboration with Nigerian health authorities, had disinfected all the facilities of the ECOWAS Lagos Liaison Office as part of precautionary measures to safeguard the health, safety and security of staff members, and will continue to monitor the situation.
“Management has also intensified awareness campaign among staff on the deadly virus and uses this opportunity to invoke the spirit of solidarity and mutual assistance.
“The Commission wishes to reassure staff of all Community Institutions all over the entire region that it is taking all necessary steps to guarantee their health and safety.
“Furthermore, Management enjoins all staff members and community citizens in general to intensify the observance of personal hygiene. They should also report any suspected case to health facilities and seek medical advice or attention for the effective containment and defeat of the Ebola disease.
“On the directive of regional leaders, ECOWAS has already set up a Solidarity Fund to fight the disease and has solicited the support contribution of Member States and development partners to the Fund to rid the region of the virus.
“The ECOWAS Commission wishes to reiterate its continued commitment to support Member States in confronting this deadly virus.”

May God grant his family the fortitude to bear the loss.

Those that attended the meeting might also be sick.

Enangson: Nobody is save in Lagos!

We are SAFE as long as we avoid direct contact with infected and seriously ill ebola victims.

GAZZUZZ: Gradually they will all die out or get well and this case will be closed. 3 down 170 to go.

nonsense

Ladystewie: This is serious
SO, any little contact could spread this disease

it wasn't a little contact. he escorted him to the hospital. that means he must have been holding and supporting the man to the hospital. that's maximum contact.
Help us oh Lord.

More efforts needed to curtail this dreadful ebola ... May God protect us from the hands of "fowlers"

This is getting serious. . .

Mkpotu: Patrick Sawyer, na only God go judge for this your wickedness and man inhumanity to man. smh

Well he didn't know he had the disease and don't forget he also contracted it from someone.

I pray for students as school is about to resume.

And some pple are saying it was unprofessional of GEJ to av called the man crazy eh... This is WAR against Liberia

Blood of God!!!

Sawyer knew quite well he had Ebola before coming here, reports had it that he was under close observation before the trip, he merely sneaked out of his country.

According to the same report he contracted from his sister who died of same. So he is fully in know of his Ebola status.

Ashantiking:

Well he didn't know he had the disease and don't forget he also contracted it from someone.
