Breaking News: W.H.O Officially Declares Nigeria Ebola Free

The World Health Organization has officially declared
Nigeria to be Ebola free. WHO's Country Representative for
Nigeria Dr. Rui Dama Gaz made the declaration moments
ago at the Shehu Musa Yarad'ua Center in Lagos.
It has been six weeks since the last reported case of the
virus. Nigeria is Africa's most populous nation with a
population of more than 170 million and is Africa's largest
economy.
There were strong fears that Ebola would take hold when a
Liberian-American arrived with the disease in July in
Nigeria's densely populated commercial nerve center,
Lagos.
However, due to the diligence of Dr Ameyo Stella Adadevoh
of Lagos based First Consultants Medical Center, who
identified Patrick Sawyer as having the virus and stopped
him from spreading it, Ebola has been officially defeated.
Dr Adadevoh later died from the virus alongside other
medical staff who refused to let Mr Sawyer leave the
hospital. May her soul rest in peace.
