    BREAKING: NCDC Adds Kyari, Bauchi Governor To Tally As Number Of Confirmed Coronavirus Cases Hit 44 2


     

    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.

    BREAKING: Buhari’s Chief Of Staff, Abba Kyari, Reportedly Sick, Suspected Of Contracting Coronavirus 6


     

    Abba Kyari, Chief of Staff to Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari, is said to be seriously ill and in fact suspected of being infected with Coronavirus.

    A top government source told SaharaReporters on Monday that Kyari has been seriously “down” since returning from a trip abroad. 

    Kyari visited Germany and Egypt and only returned this week, giving credence to the fact that he may have indeed been infected with the virus. 

    Egypt has 327 confirmed cases of Coronavirus and 14 deaths while Germany has 29,056 infections and 123 deaths. 

    Though coughing severely, Kyari is said to have been attending meetings including with Buhari, Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, ministers and other members of the Federal Executive Council. 

    Executive Chairman of Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, Prof James Momoh, was said to have accompanied Kyari on the trip to both countries. 

    The latest development comes hours after a leaked memo showed Kyari telling Nigerian legislators, who recently returned from foreign trips, to submit themselves for Coronavirus test. 

    It also comes after Aisha Buhari, wife of Nigeria’s President, disclosed that one of her daughters was in self-isolation after returning from the United Kingdom, one of the high risk countries for the virus. 

    On Monday, Nigeria confirmed its first Coronavirus death after a former Managing Director of Pipelines and Products Marketing Company, a subsidiary of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Suleiman Achimugu, succumbed to the virus in Abuja. 

    Earlier, the Nigerian Center for Disease Control announced a total of 36 confirmed cases but with Kyari’s suspected infection, that figure may have now risen to 37.

    Workers in Nigeria’s Presidential Villa in Abuja are currently jubilating following the redeployment of State House Permanent Secretary, Jalal Arabi. 

    In a letter on Monday, Head of Service of the Federation, Dr Folasade Yemi-Esan, announced the redeployment of Arabi and two others, Tijani Idris Umar and Sabi’u Zakari. 

    Arabi has now been moved to the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development.

    Umar was moved to the State House from the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs while Zakari was moved from Ministry of Transportation to Defence.

    According to findings by SaharaReporters, Arabi became a thorn in the flesh of State House workers after rising through the ranks to become Permanent Secretary. 

    “He turned out to be a monster and by far the worst Permanent Secretary in the history of the State House.

    “People are jubilating and openly saying it’s good riddance to bad rubbish. 

    “Everyone thought he was going to be a good person having been in the Villa for over 15 years. He rose from a mere Legal Officer in the Villa to State House Counsel before being appointed Permanent Secretary. 

    “The whole Villa is jubilating over Arabi’s ouster.”

    The Independent National Electoral Commission has suspended its activities in the country over the outbreak of Coronavirus in Nigeria.

    Festus Okoye, National Commission and Chairman of Information and Voter Education Committee, in a statement said the commission in line with directives of the Nigerian Center for Disease Control and the social distancing advisory of the World Health Organisation, will suspend all regular and non-essential activities for 14 days.

    He added that the electoral commission values the health and wellbeing of all staff, officials and general public.

    “Effective from Tuesday 24th March 2020, all regular and non-essential activities will be suspended in its headquarters and offices nation-wide for 14 days in the first instance.

    “The regular quarterly meetings with stakeholders including political parties, civil society organisations, the media, security agencies and all other meetings, have been suspended until such a time when normalcy returns.

    “The commission will no longer monitor the conventions, congresses, conferences or meetings of political parties until further notice,” Okoye said.

    INEC noted that the suspension of its activities would not affect the activities for Edo and Ondo governorship elections scheduled for 19th September and 10th October 2020 respectively.

    Recall that the government ordered all civil servants to stay at home with all schools closed down.

    EXPOSED: Speaker Of Lagos Assembly, Obasa, Awards Contracts To Self Through Company Registered In Son’s Name


    With reports by SaharaReporters exposing some of the shady deals of the Speaker and his surrogate companies, the panic button was pressed by Obasa. 

    He was reported to have urgently mobilised some members of the GAC to convene the meeting and intervene to save his seat. 

    SaharaReporters had published a report highlighting a list of companies the Speaker had been using to award contracts to himself and launder public funds.

    To avoid a direct linking to himself, Obasa did not use his name to register but used his father, wife and children as shareholders in the company.

    A member of the GAC, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the Speaker was alleged to have sent some huge amount of money to a member, Mutiu Are, on Monday evening for distribution among some members of the council. 

    Chairman of the council, which has Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu as member, is Asiwaju Bola  Tinubu. 

    It is suspected that Asiwaju, who has been in self-imposed isolation since his return from London last week, would be in attendance personally.

    Director General of the National Youth Service Corps, General Shuaibu Ibrahim, has permitted all corps members to travel to their homes.
