on Wednesday apologised over a controversial twitter post of himself
wearing a mask while exiting Monrovia Airport, Liberia, amid the Ebola
outbreak.
According to the post, Iyke had fled the country, cutting short his
business trip over fears of contracting the disease.
He said that his comments were based on fear and were taken out of
context, adding "the last thing I wanted to do was to alarm anyone.
"My heart goes out to all the families who have been affected by the
Ebola virus - those who have lost their lives or loved ones.
"Those who are still bravely fighting the disease, and all of the
communities who are battling to keep the infection under control. You
are all in my prayers.
"As I travel constantly across continents, most recently USA, Senegal,
Liberia, Ghana, Gambia, I have been screened where and when necessary
along with the other passengers.
"I believe it is the responsibility of every citizen to be vigilant
and help contain the outbreak by following the advice of the local and
international medical professionals and government officials," Ikye
stated.
