#RipAdadevoh: How the brave doctor Adadevoh, saved Nigerian lives from #Ebola

by S’ola Filani

Medical Doctor, Ameyo Stella Adadevoh, bravely saved the country from a potential epidemic of the Ebola Virus Disease, before she fell to the disease on Tuesday night.

Dr. Adadevoh was infected when she forcefully restricted Mr. Patrick Sawyer to his bed after he tried to remove the drip administered on him, and leave hospital. That one action saved many Nigerian lives because, if Sawyer had succeeded in forcing himself out of the hospital, it would have been nearly impossible to trace those who had contact with him, health experts have disclosed.

Stella Adadevoh, was the first grandchild of Mrs Sarah Idowu Abigail Adadevoh nee Macaulay, making her a great granddaughter of the late nationalist Herbert Macaulay described as the founder of Nigerian nationalism.

Her father was Prof. Babatunde Kwaku Adadevoh, who was a grandson of the grand old man of Nigerian anti-colonial politics. He was also a physician.

She went on to marry Adadevoh. According to Family Tree, they have six children listed as follows;

Kwame Adadevoh, Kwaku Adadevoh, Stella Shade Ameyo Adadevoh, Charity Ronke Awoyo Adadevoh, Kowu Adadevoh and Awushi Adadevoh.
