When the Ebola virus broke out across West Africa in 2014 , it left an unforgettable mark especially in Nigeria.

The haemorrhagic fever which causes death of most of its victims was first recorded when a Liberian-American diplomat, Patrick Sawyer, collapsed at the Murtala Mohammed airport during a trip to Nigeria.

He was checked into First Consultant Medical Centre, where his Ebola status was confirmed under the supervision of Dr Ameyo Adedavoh, who eventually died of the disease during the process.

93 Days tells the real story of the men and women who actively fought to prevent the spread of the disease in Nigeria.

Delivering a powerful performance, Bimbo Akintola, who acts as the female consultant who contacted the government after discovering Patrick Sawyer was infected with the virus.

The movie which was directed by Steve Gukas is coming soon to Nigerian cinemas.

It’s amazing how Nollywood has created an accurate narration of an important experience in Nigerian history. You can watch the trailer here.
