A group in Cross River State has claimed that there is evidence that coronavirus exists in the state despite the fact that Nigeria Centre for Disease Control has not announced any confirmed case of the viral infection in the South-South state.
“There is enough anecdotal evidence to support the belief that cases of the COVID-19 disease exist in the State,” Efik Leadership Foundation said recently in a letter they wrote to Muhammadu Buhari, requesting the Nigerian President to intervene in the matter.
“As a matter of policy, the State Government has rejected even the smallest degree of testing which means that contact tracing is out of question. It accused Governor Ayade’s administration of “illegal” withdrawal of N900 million from the local government joint account funds in the state for COVID-19 intervention.
It specifically appealed to the federal government to establish COVID-19 test stations in federal medical institutions in the state and get the people of Cross River to be tested of the virus.
