The widow of late Patrick Sawyer, the Liberian who brought Ebola into
Nigeria, has defended her husband’s decision to travel to Africa’s most
populous country, saying he did so in desperate search for a country

Decontee Sawyer, who is a radio host in New York, as explaining that Mr.
Sawyer had no trust in the healthcare system in Liberia and had
possibly headed to Nigeria with the hope of receiving better treatment
for his ailment.

Mrs. Sawyer shared her thoughts on her Facebook profile from which TMZ Liberia sourced it for publication.

“I’ve read other reports in other papers (not the New York Times)

Patrick’s widow, I would like to shed some light on this from another

“I knew Patrick better than anybody else (including himself). He had
told me many times in the past how much he didn’t trust the Liberian

result. On top of that, Patrick was a clean freak, and told me how
filthy a lot of the hospitals were.....Click the link below to read details
