The 44-year-old
Italian man infected with the virus and placed at the isolation centre in Lagos
attempted to run away from the center.
It was gathered that
the Italian was quarantined at the Mainland Hospital, Yaba, Lagos.
SaharaReporters
reports that the man was disappointed at the ill-equipped facility, poor
treatment and also complained of not being fed well and not receiving proper
medical attention, all of which culminated in his decision to abscond from the
center.
“Where they kept
him is a very uncomfortable place. They put him in just a room with no power
supply, the room is not air-conditioned, mosquitoes are biting him and they are
not feeding him,” the sources were quoted to have said.
According to the report, his attempt to
abscond from the isolation centre was, however, not successful as personnel
around the facility was able to stop him.
The Italian is the
only confirmed case of the virus in Nigeria after he flew into the country on
Monday, February 24.
The online medium said
it had exclusively reported that he was diagnosed with the disease in Ogun
State before he was rushed to Lagos where he was kept in isolation. It was also
reported that the Italian made contact with many people within and outside the cement
factory and at the hospital where he was rushed to for initial treatment.
