The Kogi State Government has alleged plans to 'import' cases of coronavirus into the state through illicit means.

The government also said the plan is part of an “unholy conspiracy to declareIt alleged there were “recent pressures from some interesting quarters for Kogi State to find and declare cases of the disease.”A statement on Tuesday by the state’s commissioner for information, Kingsley Fanwo, alleged “attempts to import the disease or declare fictitious cases”.

The demand, according to the official statement, was suspicious because the said lady confessed that she had stopped feeling the initial symptoms and “her temperature was at a healthy 36.8°C”. 2. Immediately the message was received, the Incident Manager who is also the Kogi State Commissioner for Health, Dr Saka Haruna, led a team of medical experts to assess the situation with a bid to ascertaining if the alleged symptoms fit into the criteria set by the National Centre for Disease Control for CoviD-19 testing.

5. The temperature readings fell totally within normal range and she did not exhibit any of the other symptoms which by the latest NCDC guidelines ought to have paired her nonexistent fever to necessitate further tests for COVID-19.

They simply asked him to test and he is blabbing I pray it doesn't get to a point we will hear him crying fowl dat ncdc has abandoned kogi

Abi it's becoming obvious that the app you talked about isn't working again. The earlier you start testing the better for you

Covid 19 fiasco

Am thinking that some places do not have this thing but were lured to declare it 32billion is a stake here , even in China, not every city have it , imagine the epicentre, anyway, a bigger politics is playing as usual, people just die and they declare codvid19 to add up in states

Why should there be a pressure to declare COVID-19 in ur state? Is it a competition? I don't understand u guys any more.

Trying to pretend he doesn't need the funds, soon he will shout out to his father in aso rock for 15B too

Chaiiii🤔 but why .

.

Man feeling pressure to seek Covid-19 funds 😁😁😁

Is not good for someone to go to school and still behave like he hasn't seen the four walls.

This country nawa ooo. What for na?

Kogi shares boundary with several states and the FCT. With the porous nature of our borders despite the ban on interstate travels its only a matter of time before someone moves in from high burden area like Abuja and spreads it. That is, if it hasn’t already happened.

who are those presurising you to declare covid 19 in kogi ?

To what end? How will it benefit anyone if Kogi is infected with the virus?

So it is true that there's pressure on states to declare this? Nigeria! Nigeria!! Nigeriaaaaa!!! How many times did I call you?

It is a simple math here If there is no Covid19 in Kogi State there isn't . If there is, there is nothing to hide and heaven won't fall. My advice to Kogi State Governor is don't take chances prepare adequately for it incase there is a confirmed case.

GlamPhysician does this make any sense to us? The federal government alongside NCDCgov wanna ensure every state is counted!! The whole thing is some big Scam! We needa wake up!

Almighty Allah will protect you people inshaallahu
