BANGKOK, Nov 24 — Police in Sa Kaeo province are searching for Sesay Samuel, a 31 year old Sierra Leonean who escaped from health authorities in Bangkok as he is suspected of having contracted the Ebola virus disease.

Mr. Samuel’s photo was distributed to immigration police at the Aranyaprathet border checkpoint in Sa Kaew province so that the authorities can identify him.

Paramilitary Rangers of the 1206th Paramilitary Company and police at Khlong Luek Station in Sa Kaeo are patrolling border areas in Aranyaprathet to block Mr Samuel from leaving the country there.

Local authorities have not, however, found any clue of his presence in the border district.
