Late Patrick Sawyer flew in to Lagos en-route a trip to Calabar for an official assignment but fell ill in the aircraft and was treated at the First Consultant Medical Centre, Obalende, Lagos where he'd been receiving treatment before his death due to complication from the virus
The Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu, also said that eight persons that had first degree contact with the Liberian before he got to the hospital have also been quarantined and are under strict observation.
