Ameyo Adadevoh And The Ebola Conspiracy - Femi Fani-Kayode

In a write-up titled, “A Virus Called Ebola and the Secret Club From Hell” (Premium Times, August 17, 2014) I wrote that Patrick Sawyer, the American/ Liberian who brought the Ebola virus to Nigeria “was an evil man with an evil intention and purpose’’. I went further by writing that, ‘’worst still he was not working alone. Some people, and I mean rich, powerful and well-connected people, were working with him. As a matter of fact, they sent him on the mission’’.

I stand by those words and I maintain, as I argued in that essay, that there is an “Illuminati’’ connection to the whole Ebola episode. I urge those that are skeptical about this and that have not read that write-up to google it and do so. This short contribution is something of an addendum to that essay. I was compelled to write it for two reasons. Firstly, because the sheer depth, complexity and audacity of the conspiracy is so utterly appalling and mind-boggling that I believe a little more detail is required to make the case. Secondly, because Nigeria has just lost a woman of substance and one of her brightest and best, who happens to be a medical practitioner, to the Ebola virus as a direct consequence of Sawyer’s sinister and nefarious activities.

New Election Guidelines Force APC Presidential Aspirants to Change Strategy

Ebola: First Consultant Hospital, Adadevoh's Family To Sue Liberian Government

The dreaded Ebola virus was brought to Nigeria last month by the Liberian- who had contracted the disease in his country and then flew into Nigeria aboard an Asky flight to attend a conference of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) held in Calabar. Sawyer arrived Lagos on July 20 but was rushed to First Consultant Hospital where he lied to the medical officers on duty that he had malaria fever, a non-communicable illness.

Ebola: Owners of Private Jets Refuse to Lease Their Planes
