Kogi: Alleged COVID-19 Patient was stung by bees-Kogi Govt.

The commisioner of Information and Communication has said that decralation of the Two COVID-19 cases in Kogi State was a beautiful fraud.

He said The alleged COVID-19 Patient was an Imam who was stung by bees and was rushed to FMC before moving to Abuja. The man who was allegedly tested positive showed no symptom of COVID-19.

14 Members of his family have been traced and tested but turned out negative.

2 patients have been referred to the state testing centre today by the FMC and they turned out negative.

NCDC has said all States of the federation must have COVID-19 Even when it was only in Lagos, Abuja, Ogun and Kano States but we reject in its entity this fraudulent inclusion of Kogi State on COVID-19 log.

We have capacity for testing. We are well prepared to curtail and manage any case of COVID-19 but we will not accept fictitious declaration of positive cases. We will continue to ensure the safety of our people.

Hon Evangelist Kingsley OlorunfemFanwo, Commissioner for Information and Communication.
