VIRAL AUDIO: Woman Cries Out, Blames NCDC As Son-In-Law Dies Allegedly From COVID-19 In Kano
An audio message from a woman in Abuja alleging her son-in-law died in Kano from a disease suspected to be COVID-19 due to slow response by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and the COVID-19 rapid response unit in Kano state, has gone viral.
According to the woman’s narration, she was contacted by her daughter from Kano who said her husband had developed a high fever.She suspected it was COVID-19 and started calling the NCDC hotlines. She couldn’t reach the Kano centre, but got through to the Abuja branch.“What will happen to my children, my daughter and my grandchildren when there is no NCDC in Kano?” she said in the viral audio.
“If they had come earlier than now, if they had responded to our calls, my husband would probably have been alive but now that it’s too late they finally came to say they want to save our lives,” the woman said. “Also the International Clinic should be immediately looked into because he was first admitted there,” she said.When contacted, the Kano state COVID-19 rapid response team confirmed that authorities at the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital are investigating the circumstances behind the man’s death.
