Olu Koye
Commissioner for Health, Dr. Samson
Parker Rivers State said on Friday evening August 29th, said that late Dr. Iyke Enemou, who treated
ECOWAS diplomat Olu Koye, was aware that Mr Koye had the Ebola
Virus Disease.
"He had received the late Dr. Patrick
Sawyer in Lagos. Upon developing the symptom, confided in a female colleague,
called Lilian, who contacted the late Enemuo. It was after contact was
established with Dr. Enemuo that Olu Koye flew to Port Harcourt to see him. To
conceal his movement, Koye, who had been quarantined among other people for
having primary contact with the late Dr. Sawyer, the Liberian-American who
transmuted the Ebola virus into Nigeria, sneaked out of the isolation unit
where he was being observed and took a flight to Port Harcourt and switched off
his phone so that he could not be reached or traced should he answer a call.”
When he got to Port Harcourt, he
checked into Mandate Gardens Hotel in the Rumunokoro area in Obio/Akpor LGA
which is close to Sam Steel Clinic where Dr. Enemuo worked.
