He noted that while the two index cases were still being dispute, the agency has now gone ahead to build on what he described as “false foundation” by declaring one more case for the State last week, for a total score of three.

The Kogi State government has accused the management of the Federal Medical Centre, , Lokoja of conniving with the Nigeria Center for Disease Control, , to declare non-existing COVID-19 cases for Kogi state, insisting that the state is still free of the virus at the moment.

Fanwo added that the son’s case is even more strange, as he has a negative test result to confirm that he is COVID-19 free including all his siblings who were tested in the days following as the NCDC serially sought an off-taker for the second COVID-19 case which they had earlier foisted on Kogi State.

“After 9 days in her custody, the NCDC discharged the Chief Imam on Saturday June 6th, 2020 and upon his return home, he was extensively debriefed by us with a view to ensuring that any lingering public health implications of his case are identified and resolved. “You all will recall that despite our disagreement with the NCDC’s conduct in the entire circumstances of this case, we moved rapidly and ensured that every member of the Chief Imam’s family as well as his direct contacts were traced and tested within hours of the NCDC announcement on May 27. They all tested negative.
