Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has denied the existence of another positive case of Coronavirus as announced by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), at its Wednesday nationwide update.
This was made known by the Commissioner for Health, Dr Saka Haruna.
He said the ministry and indeed the state government remain unaware of any such case, just as it denied knowledge of the first index case and another.
He described the new figure credited to the state as mere assumption.
“We are unaware of any new case. Who is the patient, where and when was the test conducted,” he wrote.
There has been a running battle and open mistrust between the Kogi State government and the NCDC over what the government described as opaqueness in the management of the COVID-19 pandemic in the state.
Yahaya Bello led administration accused the NCDC of commercializing the pandemic.
