Dr. Ameyo Adadevoh contracted the Ebola Virus Disease from Liberian-American Patrick Sawyer, being the main physician that worked on his treatment at the First Consultants Hospital in Lagos. She passed away yesterday despite efforts to sustain her. May her soul rest in peace.
Celebrities and ordinary Nigerian on social media have begun to pay tribute to Dr. Ameyo who acted like a barrier between Ebola-ridden Patrick Sawyer and the general population. Rita Dominic who personally knows the doctor shared the picture above and wrote;
"A Hero or Heroine refers to characters who, in the face of danger and adversity or from a position of weakness, display courage and the will for self-sacrifice.. That is, heroism-for some greater good of all humanity.. Rest In Peace Dr AMEYO ADADEVOH

Tola Odunsi - Dr. Ameyo died this afternoon Tuesday August 19th at the isolation unit of the Mainland Hospital in Lagos where she'd been quarantined. She died a hero because she was the doctor who refused to let Patrick Sawyer, the man who brought the Ebola virus to Nigeria, leave the First Consultant Hospital in Obalende, Lagos, when he attempted to leave. She saved many lives by doing this. Her death is so heartbreaking. #rip #hero
