The “suspect” was said to have arrived Nigeria from Morocco after working in Guinea and Sierra Leone.
The woman was in transit to her country but she has now been taken to an Ebola treatment center in Lagos to be tested for the disease.
Fears were said to have been sparked when the woman filled out a health questionnaire on her arrival in Lagos and acknowledged that she was suffering from diarrhea and vomiting, both possible symptoms of the Ebola hemorrhagic virus.
The Director of Port Health Services at the Lagos airport, Dr. Morenike Alex-Okoh said:
“This person has been in Guinea and Sierra Leone since April, she has the symptoms,”
Ebola was imported into Nigeria in July after an infected Liberian-American, Patrick Sawyer, flew into the country with the disease.
