BREAKING: Nigeria’s Ebola index patient evacuated abroad for treatment

A woman identified in a report by ARISE News as Nigeria’s Ebola index patient has reportedly been evacuated from the country aboard a medical air ambulance. The evacuation took place early Monday morning through the private jet section of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, according to the news outlet’s sources.

The report reveals a convoy of three vehicles, including ambulances and diplomatic vehicles, arrived at the airport’s private wing. Airport officials reportedly cordoned off the area, while the news outlet said it later obtained video footage showing a medical evacuation aircraft preparing to transport the patient.

The report identified the woman as the wife of a Swiss diplomat in Nigeria. However, the Federal Government was yet to make an official announcement on the reported evacuation at the time of the report.
