There was panic in Victoria Island today after a suspected Ebola patient
was found to be admitted at the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation, NNPC clinic on Muri Okunola.
The patient was said to have first been admitted at First Consultant
Medical Centre around the same time Liberian Patrick Sawyer was being
treated at the clinic. Men suited in white safety clothing and an
ambulance were seen at the hospital around one 1pm today.
Though there's no definite confirmation that the patient is infected
with Ebola, the Management of NNPC Clinic this evening announced the
indefinite shutdown of the clinic.
The management said its a pre-emptive step and also said they have reported the issue to the Federal Ministry
of Health as well as officials of the Lagos State Ministry of Health. More pics after the cut
