Chukwu said the doctor was &quot;the most senior who participated in the management of the (first Ebola) patient&quot; in the country. Liberian-American Patrick Sawyer, 40, died in a Lagos hospital on July 25, five days after arriving at the city's airport visibly unwell on a flight from the Liberian capital, Monrovia. &quot;With this unfortunate development, the total number of Ebola virus-related deaths in Nigeria now stands at five,&quot; Chukwu added.</p><br clear="all"/>
