Mrs Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, wife of Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has tested positive for Coronavirus.
This is coming barely 48 hours after her husband was confirmed to have contracted the virus, as reported by Igbere TV.
According to Sahara Reporters, a source in the Ondo government house confirmed the news to their correspondent.
The source also revealed that some security aides to Mrs Akeredolu also tested positive for the virus.
“Unfortunately, her (Mrs Akeredolu) result came back positive with some of her aides today.
“Health officials have advised them to quickly go on isolation and I am sure they have taken the advice.
“So, for now, we don’t expect the governor and his wife to be seen in public places because we are in danger with the rising cases in the state.”
Igbere TV had reported that Commissioner for Health in the state, Wahab Adegbenro, died of the virus on Thursday.
