COVID-19: ‘I didn’t tamper with Benue index case, Susan Okpe’s test result’ – Gov Ortom
Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, on Saturday, refuted claims of tampering with the COVID-19 test result of the state’s index case, Mrs. Susan Idoko Okpe.
The governor made the clarification in a response to several videos by Mars Okpe claiming he doctored her COVID-19 result. He disclosed that Mrs. Okpe was in care of NCDC and the health agency will release her when certified free of the virus. “Coronavirus tests are carried out by Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, not Benue State Government. Governor Ortom or any other person could therefore not have tampered with the same results simply to stigmatize the index case.
