CCTV Video Suggests Liberian Patrick Sawyer Intentionally Brought Ebola Virus Into Nigeria
August 7, 2014 – CCTV Video Of Liberian Patrick Sawyer Suggests He Intentionally Brought Ebola Virus Disease Into Lagos Nigeria
To confirm suspicions surrounding the mission of the Liberian health official who died in Lagos Nigeria late last month, a CCTV video in Liberia clearly showed the man in pain few hours before his departure at the airport.
Images from a Close Circuit Television (CCTV) monitored at the James Spriggs Payne’s Airport have shown how the late Patrick Sawyer was terribly ill before boarding the Nigeria bond flight.
The late Sawyer from the recording, it appears he knew, he had been infected by the deadly tropical disease. His behavior, among other passengers waiting at the boarding gate was strange.
His face bore a sad countenance like someone who was troubled, as he sat alone avoiding body contacts with everyone who came close by him.
His strange behavior and frequent movement up and down as he eagerly awaits his ASky flight had prompted the security camera operator to focus on him. In the video, Patrick could be seen avoiding physical contacts with airport employees and other passengers during the check in process.
After checking in, Patrick briefings left the terminal, but he would soon be shown sitting in an isolated area by himself at the boarding gate or waiting room. The video footage also shows the late Patrick lying flat on his stomach on the floor in the corridor of the airport a sign of someone in excruciating pain.
This writer, who also watched the video footage of Patrick at the Spriggs Payne Airport said the late Patrick was seen preventing people from touching him. The recording shows him snubbing an Immigration officer who was seen moving straight toward him in a friendly gesture for a handshake as he boarded the flight. The footage was shown after his death was announced upon arrival in Nigeria.
Patrick died Thursday night at the First Consultant Medical Centre, Obalende, in Lagos where he was hospitalized. Sawyer only arrived in Nigeria on Sunday, July 20 for a conference when he was tested and confirmed of having the Ebola virus.
But why did he do that to put a whole country in trouble. This is unfair.
Why can’t the people who saw him report to the appropriate authorities???? I think there is more to this.

no doubt US sponsored him to bring the virus to Nigeria. The man is an American who knew he has the virus after the death of his sister.
Ebola has no business in Nigeria but the handiwork of US authorities after Nigeria introduce anti-gay law.
They sent him here

I don’t believe that the US sent him. I blame our insensitive leaders. The could have prevent this virus from entering Nigeria as other countries have taken precaution from allowing people coming from the carrier countries to enter their countries.

Why must we always think like africa, why will you say he paraventually brought it to nigeira, is it not human-beign that invited him for a seminar in nigeria, why didn’t they test him at the airport when he arrives nigeria, I think this is a very good lesson.

My dear, I don’t think i tis fair to blame the government in this matter. I am of the opinion that there are Nigerians(you and I)the government has employed to screen for infectious diseases at the terminals and airports but they failed to do their work. Now this can be applied to everyone of us. How well are we doing the jobs we have been paid to do? So many times, we do it carelessly or do not do it all. Lets shine our little light in our varios corners and Nigeria will be abetter place.

its unfortunate dey can do more than this as their idea is to remain superpower & regard any country as it social enemy but african counries are worst hit by the system so that we must receive aid from them & remain poor as we cant do 4 our self

What I know is whether the Ebola coming to Nigeria is intentional or otherwise, God is a great and merciful God. He will definitely bring a total and lasting stop to the existence and spread of the virus in Nigeria.
Man shall be put to shame!

@bezo….i like ur idea…and speech…dat country is wicked…they should Hv stopped their airlines and other means of traveling, since there is an out break in their country to avoid it spreading out d more…apologies from their president won’t make any difference since they cant use their brains…Nigeria dat heard abt it shut Hv maintained some certain checkup by quarantining anybody cm in from Africa as a whole…bf entering Nigeria or Lagos…now everybody is at risk..when they can’t use their brains…now let them get d vaccine cos I know ebola don’t have one…rubbish

God should allow d spread of this virus to continue in nigeria so that it make nigerians to draw closer to God.many people are afraid of death cos the knows that with this virus it is very easy for one to be infected than that of HIV that people think that condom is a way of excape.

Bezo indeed made sense here.. They should hav discovered dt he’s nt wel on arrival if d systems wer working… Again i wonder wy dey ddnt poison him immediately they saw he’s having ebola.. Though i trust naija 4daa aspect, bt wy leaving hm for days??? THIS Z INDEED A WAKE UP CALL.. I BELIEVE NAIJA LL NEVER REMAIN D SAME AFTER DS ENCOUNTER.. ONE GOOD THING ABOUT EBOLA IS THAT IT DOESN’T KNO BIG OR SMALL MAN, POLITICIAN OR NOT, DOC OR FARMER. HAD IT BEEN IT AFFECTS ONLY POOR, NON POLITICIANS IT WOULD HAV BN WORST BC D OGAS @D TOP WOULD HAV EMBEZZELED ALL FUND MEANT TO FIGHT DS DISEASE. I urge everybody to feel relaxed bt vigilance. The way our politicians ar fighting ds ebola wit every mean n urgency it demands, ebola ll b a history in Nigeria b4 2months. However, lets take nothing for granted.
