The Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, has said he would release the medical report of the British-Nigerian woman, Susan Idoko-Okpe, alleged to be Benue State’s COVID-19 index case, to prove that she tested positive twice for the virus.
She alleged that the medical report upon which she was quarantined belongs to a 62-year-old woman, Sarah Okpe, from the Otukpo LGA. “So, the instruction is that she will be tested and she will be given all her results. What has happened since then, I will find out later this evening when I engage the Chief Medical Director of the hospital.
Speaking on her behalf, Mr Adegboruwa said: “Our client arrived in Nigeria on March 22, 2020, through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, and thereafter proceeded to Abuja from where she headed for Benue State to partake in her mother’s funeral programmes. “They took the samples from our client’s left nostril and her throat. Our client then enquired from the doctor as to the collection of the test results and he responded that they would be ready in 24 hours. Though our client was now well and ready to leave the private hospital, she was advised to wait for the outcome of the COVID-19 test results, so she waited.
