NCDC lied about Kano deaths figure – MURIC
MURIC kicked against the figures being released by the Nigerian agency in a press statement signed on Tuesday, 5th May, 2020, by the group’s director, Professor Ishaq Akintola and made available to DAILY POST.
“Even the latest figures of yesterday, 4th May, 2020 which gave Kano 23 while places like Lagos, Abuja and Katsina had 76, 19 and 37 respectively are questionable. How can Katsina’s figure be higher than that of Kano in view of the reality staring us in the face? “Just 2? It is incredible. Is somebody cooking figures? Also, if people are dying in tens and twenties in Kano everyday, how can the total number of deaths in the whole country be 85? Are the dead bodies in Kano not part of Nigerian casualties?
“What happened thereafter? The first index case soon occurred in Nigeria. COVID-19 began to spread and the Federal Government had no choice than to order the closure of NYSC camps. It was such a colossal waste in money, time and energy. The corps members also suffered tremendous mental pressure having had to travel to and fro long distances at great peril.
