to be an actor alleged that his girlfriend, Mary Ogechi who was
onboard an Arik Air Enugu – Lagos bound flight had been infected with Ebola virus.
TheNation reports that
passengers were soaked in tension and anxiety when the aircraft carrying
the suspected victim, a lady, arrived Lagos from Enugu at about
2pm. The aircraft was given a medical emergency landing and clearance
following a call the airline received from Enugu that one of the passengers
on board the flight has been infected with the dreaded Ebola Virus Disease.On arrival of the aircraft at the domestic wing of the Lagos Airport, the
lady ; an Enugu based nurse, was subjected to screening for Ebola. Ensuing from
the confusion , all passengers and crew members that arrived on that flight
were tested by a medical team from Port Health Services, the airline and the
Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) officials.
Investigations revealed that no one tested positive of the Ebola Virus.
It was later learnt the false alarm arose from a call made by a young man, said
to be an actor, that his ex- lover the nurse was infected by the
Ebola Virus Disease. Their relationship had hit the rocks after she allegedly
found a new suitor. The young man was said to have been heart broken when he
found out.
Thursday with the intention to pass the night with her, she was said to have
refused. It was on the strength of that disappointment, that he threatened to
deal with her, after he got to know she was on her way to Lagos.
The young lady it was learnt got into a relationship with the ex- lover less
than a month ago before the romance went sour. Sources hinted that the young
lady was taken in a yellow van belonging to FAAN aviation security officials to
the Port Health Services located near the airport for further test.
