Bankole and his mother, Ameyo Adadevoh

Lagos, after being infected with the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) from Patrick Sawyer, the harbinger of the deadly virus to Nigeria. Not only did Adadevoh lead the medical team at First Consultant Hospital that treated Sawyer, she also saved thousands of people from contracting the deadly virus. 

Adadevoh, 58, was a very selfless and kind-hearted lady, who had a passion for treating many less privileged people, for free. She was a woman of unfailing charm, endowed with a deep sense of responsibility and sharp wit.   
Ameyo Adadevoh was married to Afolabi Cardoso, a successful Chemical Engineer and
