“Those dying in Kano are Nigerians and must not be abandoned.”
By the weekend, the strange disease had killed a professor of Mass Communication, Bayero University, Kano, Murtala Balarabe Maikaba; Prof. Ibrahim Ayagi, owner of Hassan Gwarzo School; former Grand Khadi of Kano, Alhaji Dahiru Rabiu; and former Editor of Triumph, Mal Musa Tijjani.
The party said its call was predicated on conflicting reports emanating from Kano State on the cause of the sudden deaths particularly at a time that the nation was battling with the spread of COVID-19. PDP said that the situation in Kano demanded an immediate presidential visit and investigation at a very high level.
Meanwhile, there was panic at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital following the death of a patient suspected to be infected with coronavirus at the emergency unit of the hospital at the weekend. In the audio message that went viral, Salma, who said she had earlier put a call to NCDC, Kano office to report the case for an urgent response, narrated how her son-in-law was taken to a private hospital and later moved to AKTH.
When contacted, the spokesperson of AKTH, Hajia Hauwa Abdullahi, exonerated the hospital of any blame. Abdullahi who noted that Salma did not disclose the identity of her son-in-law, said the hospital had received all referral cases with almost professionalism. But the management of the NCDC and AKTH debunked the claim, insisting that none of the lab officials tested positive for COVID-19.
