When Justina
Ejelonu, the First Consultant nurse died on August 14th from complications from
the deadly Ebola Virus, Dennis, her fiancé` voluntarily submitted himself for
observation. This was after falling ill 14 days after his fiancée
Justina died.
He has
been certified free of the virus and discharged from the Isolation center on August
23rd after tests carried out on him showed he contract the Ebola virus.
Recounting
how Justina fell ill and later died, Dennis said she was two
months pregnant when the illness started, and began vomiting on him and then
collapsed in his presence before he immediately rushed her to the hospital.
He said
while she was admitted at the isolation center, he waited around the hospital premises,
occasionally going into the Ebola ward to cater for her as nurses and doctors
abandoned her to her fate at the treatment center. He stuck with her till the end.
Justina was the nurse
who attended directly to Patrick
Sawyer at the First Consultant Hospital.
