How Ebola virus disease jumped from Liberia into Nigeria

Please forward. All cities need two 300-500 room hotels that can be commandeered instantly to place a jumbo jet load of passengers in secure armed guard isolation.
On July 20, 2014 a group of 7 Liberians arrived at Lagos airport. The trip from Monrovia involved 2 flights and 1 stopover. One of the 7 in this group should not have been there. He was supposed to be in isolation. He was infected with the Ebola virus. His name was Patrick Oliver Sawyer and he had a dual Liberian-American citizenship. Sawyer's sister had died just 12 days earlier from the disease. Sawyer had taken her to the hospital. Hospital staff say he failed to follow safety procedure. The hospital believe his actions help cause the infections and deaths of 6 staff members. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Sawyer was supposed to remain in isolation for at least 21 days. However, after only 12 days, he was at the Monrovia airport and already ill. Liberia's Finance Minister had granted approval for Sawyer to go with the 6 other Liberians to a conference in Calabar Nigeria. The minister was not aware Sawyer was ill or in isolation.[5]
The 7 Liberians were going to a conference of a 15-member nation group called ECOWAS . It was being held in Calabar. That city is 750 km away from Lagos. One more flight was necessary to get there.
Sawyer was a "burly" man. When Sawyer arrived he was weak after bouts of vomitting and diahorea. Five airport handlers and the other Liberians helped Sawyer into a car and he was taken to First Consultants Hospital. Sawyer denied being around anyone that suffered from the disease. No special precautions were taken on his initial examination. The doctor that admitted him into the hospital listed him as a potential malaria case. [6] Sawyer asked to be tested for malaria and HIV.
On July 21, 2014 Sawyers condition did not improve, new tests were made.
Early July 22, 2014 an ECOWAS official came to the hospital so Sawyer could catch the connecting flight to Calabar. [7] The official was told he was too ill to travel. However, a senior official at the conference in Calabar confirmed the other 6 made it to Calabar.
On July 23, 2014 Liberia attempted to recall the 7. Many calls came into the hospital.
On July 25, Patrick Sawyer died in the hospital and was found by Dr. Igonon. Her personal account was delayed owing to the fact she was fighting an infection from Sawyer.
On the afternoon of August 19, 2014 Physician Ameyo Adadevoh, who realized Sawyer was not truthful, died from the Ebola virus disease and left behind her little sister who contracted the same disease from her.
On August 22, 2014 a doctor in Harcourt, 150 km from Calabar died from the Ebola Virus disease. He was secretely treating a Nigerian representative of ECOWAS now facing manslaughter charges.
