“Personally I don’t think it has anything to do with the NCDC.”
Smarting from the aborted attempt by five trucks with Almajirais and a corpse from Kano entering Cross River State, the state government has reiterated it’s stand that members of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Presidential Task Force coming to the state must be quarantined for 14 days and their samples sent for the Coronavirus test.
Even though the State government is not suspecting any foul play but some members of the public are wondering why the Almajirais coming should coincide with the planned visit of NCDC and PTF to the state that so far has not recorded any COVID-19 case. “Personally I don’t think it has anything to do with the NCDC. I don’t think it has a direct link with them or it deserves any link with them. They are welcome to our state and we don’t have issues with them. We are just saying when they come, they have to follow the procedure which includes being quarantined for 14 days and then send their samples to the laboratory for test”.
