Photos: Zut! Nurse Justina Obi Ejelonu Who Treated Sawyer Passes On This Morning

Obi Justina Ejelonu, one of the nurses who attended to Patrick Sawyer, a Liberian-American Ebola carrier who flew to Nigeria on his way to attend a conference in Calabar, has died. Her relatives rang SaharaReporters today with news that she passed away this morning. Ms. Ejelonu had been kept in a quarantine facility in Lagos.
Until her death, the outspoken nurse was at the center of a campaign to get the Zmapp experimental drugs to Ebola victims in Nigeria. John Okiyi-Kalu started the Internet campaign a few days ago.
Ms. Ejelonu was one of the primary contacts with Patrick Sawyer at a Lagos Hospital where he received treatment after he was rushed from the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos where he collapsed. She was aged 25, her relatives said.
Remember when she spoke out? This Ebola is really crazy!!!!
May her soul R.I.P- Amen.
