Dennis, who was late Justina Obi Ejelonu's fiancé had been quarantined and later admitted into treatment after two tests confirmed that he was positive. However, yesterday evening Dennis was discharged from the treatment center with a certificate of clearance. He walked off the center in good health according top doctors who spoke anonymously with Saharareporters.
Dennis story is a powerful one, he refused to abandon his fiancé despite her being diagnosed with
Ebola. He told Saharareporters that Justina lost a two-month pregnancy, vomited severally on him while she collapsed and had to be carried to hospital by him. After, Justina was admitted he hung around the hospital , occasionally going into the Ebola ward to cater for her as nurses and doctors abandoned the nurse to her fate at the treatment center.
Fourteen days after Justina died, Dennis had high temperature, instead of panicking he 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 but yesterday evening he was fully discharged after a third test carried out by international affiliates of the center came out negative.
A second spouse of a deceased doctor who had primary contact with Liberian -American Thomas Sawyer who was admitted yesterday with Dennis remains hospitalized at the center, currently undergoing treatment.
