Monday, October 26 2026 - The wife of the Swiss diplomat who was declared last week as the index patient diagnosed with Ebola virus in Nigeria has been evacuated from the country early this morning through an air ambulance at the private jet wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. The Swiss diplomat was also evacuated.
Arise TV reports that the couple were flown out of Nigeria
by 6am this morning through a medivac plane which was already at the airport
waiting to evacuate her.
Video recording shared showed a medivac plane with crews
eventually evacuating the sick passenger suspected to be the Ebola index case
due to the special nature of the medical evacuation.
The Federal Government will make the announcement of the
medical evacuation only after the plane has taken off and exited the Nigerian
airspace.
The woman had arrived Nigeria from Uganda when she fell ill
and was admitted to a hospital in Abuja, where she tested positive for the
disease.
So far, 53 persons have been traced to have had contact with
her and are currently being monitored.
