    BREAKING: Abuja Resident Suspected Of Having Coronavirus Isolated In Ondo Hospital 2


    A woman based in Abuja but on a trip to Ondo State has been isolated at the University of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital, Ondo Town, after showing symptoms of Coronavirus. 

    Her blood sample has been collected for testing but the result is yet to be out, according to findings by SaharaReporters. 

    The patient was taken to the hospital after coughing severely and developing high fever. 

    Recall that SaharaReporters had last Wednesday reported how a man named David, who came into Nigeria from Maryland, United States of America, and suspected of having Coronavirus, was placed under strict observation at the same hospital in Ondo Town. 

    The man fell ill shortly after arriving Ondo to see his family. 

    The result of the man’s blood sample however, returned negative, quelling initial fears created. 

    So far, no case of the deadly virus had been recorded in Ondo State. 

    However, Nigeria now has 44 confirmed cases of Coronavirus with one confirmed death. 

    Two of the confirmed cases include Abba Kyari, Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, and Bauchi State governor, Bala Mohammed.

    At least 10 soldiers that responded to an attack by bandits in Galadima Kogo Village in Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State have been declared missing days after the team suffered a heavy casualty in an ambush. 

    According to findings by SaharaReporters, the soldiers from a forward operation base received a distress call of bandits shooting sporadically at a village located on the outskirts of Galadima Kogo on the night of March 15, 2020.

    The team consisting of soldiers, mobile policemen and vigilantes arrived at the location to discover the community sacked and with an unspecified number of cows carted away and some persons abducted by the bandits.

    After conducting a clearance operation, the team went in pursuit of the bandits supported by one NAF helicopter. 

    While the helicopter went for refuelling, the team reportedly ran into an ambush set up by the bandits at about 2:00pm and subsequently lost communication with the base.  

    By the time they were tracked down to Farin Doki by 4:00pm, 10 soldiers were missing with four wounded in action and evacuated to the hospital.

    BREAKING: NCDC Adds Kyari, Bauchi Governor To Tally As Number Of Confirmed Coronavirus Cases Hit 44 8


     

    The Nigerian Centre for Disease Control has finally added Abba Kyari, Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, and Bala Mohammed, Governor of Bauchi State, to its real-time count of confirmed cases of persons infected with Coronavirus in Nigeria.

    SaharaReporters had on Monday exclusively reported that Kyari was infected with the virus as his test result came out positive but the NCDC refused to confirm it.

    Similarly, Mohammed’s result came out positive on Tuesday with a release from the state government informing the public about it. 

    In a post on the official Twitter handle of the NCDC, the agency stayed silent on the cases and simply said one case was confirmed in Abuja and another in Bauchi.

    “Two new cases of #COVID19 have been confirmed in Nigeria: one in FCT and one in Bauchi. 

    “The cases have travel history to Germany and the UK,” the NCDC tweeted.

    With the addition of the two, the total confirmed cases in the country hit 44. 

    Meanwhile, SaharaReporters had reported that three staff of Kyari tested positive to COVID-19 on Tuesday. 

    The affected persons are yet to be identified but they are close members of Kyari’s work unit.

    Since returning from the trip abroad, Kyari has had contacts with several prominent persons including Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Buhari, Babagana Kingibe, a prominent member of the ‘cabal’ and Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello. 

    Aliko Dangote, Governor Bello Masari of Katsina and Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, are among others that Kyari came in contact with after returning from his foreign trip.
