“One needs not to dig deeper to see the writing on the wall at how desperate NCDC is to nail Kogi with a COVID-19 case.”
He also directed the management of Federal Medical Centre , Lokoja, to isolate doctors and any health official that participated in moving the man and his son to Abuja.
Addressing journalists on Monday at the Government House, Lokoja, the governor pointed out that though the state did not believe in the allocated figures, he had to lock down the council, so that the COVID-19 committee could conduct checks and obtain samples for further examination. Kogi, as at today, is coronavirus-free, adding that the state would always take adequate measures to prevent the virus from entering the state.
The state had accused NCDC of desperation to force a COVID-19 case on it; hence it violated its protocols.
