Former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Mohammed Adoke has contracted COVID-19 but is asymptomatic.
Mr Adoke tested positive in Dubai, United Arab Emirates where he went for his medicals.
“Two days to my return trip to Nigeria, I went for the mandatory COVID-19 test. A day to the trip, I got the result. It was positive, even though I did not have any symptoms. Immediately, I embarked on self-isolation as required by the protocol,” he told TheCable.
“However, up till now, I am asymptomatic. I do not have a high temperature, I am not coughing, and my breathing is normal. I can taste and I can smell. Also, my oxygen level and blood pressure are normal. I am very grateful to God.
“I am due another test soon to know if I am COVID-free now so that I can return to Nigeria. I implore Nigerians to take this disease seriously. You cannot be too careful. Let us follow the guidelines released by the government. May God protect us from this plague.”
In December 2020, Adoke was granted permission to travel abroad for medicals by a Federal High Court in Abuja. He is facing money laundering charges.
The former AGF is to return before his trial resumes on January 11.
