This is the Nigerian diplomat, Olu-Ibukun Koye who took Ebola to Port Harcourt!

He was treated by Dr, Enemou , he recovered and returned t o Lagos. While the Dr. who treated him got infected and finally died of ebola.
Rivers State has since put over 100 people on watch while the widow of the Dr. has tested positive to the virus.


There are strong indications that the diplomat attached to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), Olubukun Koye who escaped from quarantine in Lagos after testing positive to Ebola virus and travelled to Port Harcourt for treatment, an action that resulted in the death of the doctor who treated him (Iyke Enemuo) may face manslaughter charges.

This is coming on the heels of report that the number of persons under surveillance in the state for Ebola Virus Disease has increased from 100 to 160.

According to Thisday,Sources said  that the issue of Koye (a primary contact of the index case, late Liberian Partick Sawyer) who defied instruction not to leave Lagos after being placed in the isolation unit, was discussed at the Federal Executive Committee meeting on Wednesday and that the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation Mohammed Adoki was directed to look into the Nigerian laws and see how he could be sanctioned for his action that resulted in the death of Enemuo.

NYESOM WIKE EXPOSED!! Nyesom Wike Knows the Face in the Mirror


 



I have been made aware of statements by the Minister of State for Education, Nyesom Ezebunwo Wike concerning the Justice Adolphus Karibi Whyte Hospital and our Malaria Elimination Program.

In the statement to his supporters, Mr. Wike insinuated that I engaged in corrupt practices in these projects.I would have dismissed Wike’s claims as the ranting of a fast drowning man who is disorientated by his circumstances but my duties and obligations as a public servant, accountable to the people of Rivers State does not allow such luxuries.

    || "Wike has been in public service all of his adult life. There is no record that he has worked anywhere, either as a lawyer or a businessman, yet Nyesom wike has properties in Port Harcourt valued at over N5,000,000,000 ( five billion naira)."

Leadership reports :
The next governor of Rivers State will not be determined by First Lady Patience Jonathan, according to leader of outlawed Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force Alhaji Mujahedeen Asari Dokubo.
An attempt to make supervising minister of education Mr Nyesom Wike the next governor of the state, Dokubo warned, would not only affect the political fortune of President Goodluck Jonathan but also the chances of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
He said the plan by the first lady to impose Wike on the people was morally wrong in the light of the dominance of the political landscape of the state by the Ikwerre group, to which Wike belongs, in the past 16 years.
