The management of the Obafemi Awolowo
University, Ile Ife, has said that the female
student of the institution who was suspected to
have the Ebola virus and moved to Lagos State
has tested negative to the virus.
The Public Relations Officer of the OAU, Mr.
Abiodun Olanrewaju, said this in a telephone
interview with our correspondent on Thursday.
He said, ” The preliminary result of the girl is out
and she tested negative. Another test will be
done tomorrow. The university will issue a
statement on this later today.”
The female student of the university who hails
from Port Harcourt, Rivers State was said to
have had contact with Dr. Iyke Enemuo who died
of the Ebola virus after treating an ECOWAS
diplomat in a hotel room.
The OAU student was said to have been put
under surveillance in Port Harcourt for 21 days
before she was certified okay having tested
negative to the virus.
However, on her return to the OAU to resume her
studies, she took ill again on Monday and she
walked to the university’s health centre where
she was admitted.
He confession to have had contact with the late
doctor and the symptoms similar to the EVD
triggered rumour that she had the virus and the
whole university community was thrown into
panic.
Some students told our correspondent that the
lady was bleeding and showing signs of the
Ebola virus.
But the result of the second test now would
calm students of the university who had been
thrown into panic since she fell sick and was
moved to Lagos.
