Fears of the dreaded Coronavirus yesterday disrupted domestic activities at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport , as a passenger of an airline developed a strange illness on board.
A source at the airport disclosed that the pilot’s refusal to allow the passengers to disembark after landing was to allow the emergency response team of the Nigeria Center for Disease Control to handle the matter. However, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria in a statement by its General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Henrietta Yakubu, assured members of the public that the development would not stop domestic flights at MAKIA, insisting that besides suspension of international flights, domestic flights remain.
At Kawaji Boys Secondary School, Day Science and Lufaloy Schools, only a few teachers were seen discussing, while at Rumfa College, Bennie International School, Intercontinental and Federal Government College, Kano, only security personnel and few people were sighted. Declaring the directive shortly after the weekly state executive council meeting, Commissioner for Information, Muhammad Garba, said the measure was part of several decisions that would be taken to curtail the spread of the deadly virus to Kano.
