Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has criticized the federal government's report which attributed 50-60 percent of the 979 unexplained deaths in Kano state to COVID-19.
He insisted that the federal government’s report is “misleading” as the verbal autopsy revealed that only 15.9% of the strange deaths were related to COVID-19.“The report of the Federal government showing 60 percent dying from COVID-19 lacks all the variables, lacks correlations, it did not pass the time of basic validity and reliability, signifying nothing and misleading everybody.
“COVID-19 might have contributed in 15.9 % of the cases of mortality but within the limitations of the verbal autopsy method that cannot provide confirmation. “If the mysterious deaths were COVID-19 related, the deaths could have come more from local governments that have more COVID-19 cases.
