An intending passenger collapsed and
died yesterday while waiting to collect
the Yellow Card from Port Health

back to Accra for medical treatment.
Speaking on the death of the
passenger, General Manager,
Corporate Communication, Federal
Airport Authority of Nigeria, FAAN ,
Mr Yakubu Dati , said:
“The passenger, Mr. Akunne Osei ,
took ill on Saturday, August 9 and
started stooling. When the situation
got worse, he called his doctor in
Accra who instructed him to return
to Ghana immediately for further
treatment.
“During boarding formalities for his
return trip to Accra, at the MMIA,
Mr. Osei , who had become weak was
subjected to Ebola virus test by port
health officials, the result of which
was negative.
“No further attention was paid to
him after his Ebola virus result read
negative but the passenger later
slumped and died around the port
health office.”
The sister of the dead man was seen
crying, saying:“ Chike, please get up.”
The body of Osei was kept at zero
