This man is indeed a brave man. The fiance of late Justina Obi Ejelonu, the 29-year old nurse who was part of the team that treated Patrick Sawyer but gave up the ghost recently has spoken.
Dennis said when Justina contracted the disease, she was with him and he was solely responsible for her. When she fell ill, I took her to the hospital. She vomited severally on me on our way and also collapsed. I had to carry her when she collapsed till we got to there. She was two months pregnant, he said. When she tested positive she was 'abandoned' at the hospital and left to her fate, but I occasionally went in to take care of her, he narrated.
Fourteen days after Justina died, Dennis had high temperature, and instead of panicking, he boldly turned himself in to the treatment center for observation. An initial test led the center to quarantine him, and a second test came positive leading the center to admit him to treatment. A third test was however carried out by international affiliates of the center and the tests came out negative. Dennis was yesterday discharged and given a clearance certificate to go home. Really happy for him.
