According to source, it was gathered from the residents that the woman did not live on the street, but disclosed that the woman was a Liberian who worked in a sachet water factory before she died.
While they said that the woman had been sickly for some time, the residents said she did not appear to have any problem with anyone in the community.
But after the outbreak of the Ebola disease that was brought to Nigeria by a Liberian diplomat, Patrick Sawyer, some of the people in the area opted not to have anything to do with her.
One of the residents who pleaded anonymity said, “We see her in this neighbourhood every day. She always looked sick but people stopped selling to her after the Ebola outbreak. It could be because she was Liberian and looked sickly. This might have frustrated her.”
Meanwhile, another source claimed that contrary rumours that the late lady committed suicide because she has ebola is false but instead revealed that the Liberian woman committed suicide after she found out she was HIV positive.
Source disclosed that landlords, who are members of the Isheri Oke Community Development Association, that the incident had been reported to the Isheri Police Division.
As at 11am, the woman’s body was still hanging on the pear tree.
SAD!
