Liberian authorities say they will prosecute Eric
Duncan, the Liberian man diagnosed with Ebola in the
US once he finishes his treatment in America and
returns home.
"We wish him a speedy recovery; we await his arrival
in Liberia to face prosecution" Binyah Kesselly,
chairman of the board of directors of the Liberia
Airport Authority said.
Duncan is accused of lying to health officials when he
filled a questionnaire before leaving the country last
month saying that none of his relatives were sick. But
investigations by the health ministry showed he had
an Ebola infected relative whom he had taken to a
hospital on a wheelbarrow but was turned back from
the hospital after being told they lacked bed space for
his ill relative.
Duncan, said to be in a serious condition in a Dallas
hospital, is the 1st case of Ebola to be diagnosed on
US soil.
