    Nigeria’s Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, is currently in self-isolation in compliance with a directive from the Nigerian Center for Disease Control.

    The development is coming after President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday.

    In a Twitter post on Tuesday, Laolu Akande, Senior Special Assistant to Osinbajo on Media and Publicity, said the VP was continuing to work from home where he is isolated.

    He said, “VP Osinbajo yesterday at the office conducted his meetings via video conferencing while observing social distancing. 
    “Today, he continues his work from the home office as he is in self-isolation in accordance with NCDC protocols.”

    The Presidential Intensive Care Unit inside Aso Villa has been activated and placed on standby after President Muhammadu Buhari went into self-isolation on Tuesday evening. 

    A top government source told SaharaReporters that persistent coughing by the President raised fears in Aso Villa on Tuesday despite him earlier testing negative to Coronavirus. 

    Since it emerged that Abba Kyari, Buhari’s Chief of Staff, tested positive for the deadly virus, all had not been the same in the Presidential Villa.

    Buhari’s Chief Of Staff, Abba Kyari, Tests Positive For Coronavirus, Confirms SaharaReporters Story


    Already activities had been suspended at the place while all those, who came in contact with Kyari since his return into the country after a trip to Germany earlier this month, had been asked to self-isolate. 

    Germany has 29,056 confirmed cases of Coronavirus and 123 recorded deaths. 

    On Tuesday, SaharaReporters broke the story of how three of Kyari’s staff had tested positive for the virus. 

    This was after the online publication had exclusively reported on Monday that Kyari was gravely ill and may had contacted Coronavirus after his latest trip abroad. 

    According to SaharaReporters source, the Presidency was doing everything possible to protect Buhari and his immediate family hence the preparation of the Presidential ICU in case of an emergency.

    The source also said that Kyari was earlier denied the usage of the facility after Ministry of Health officials pointed out that crisis could arise should an emergency come up around Buhari. 

    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 to Nigeria. 

    Nigeria so far has 44 confirmed cases of Coronavirus with one death recorded.

    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.

  • Bodies of treasure hunters buried at Gunung Jerai foothill found

    Bodies of treasure hunters buried at Gunung Jerai foothill found 9

    GURUN: The bodies of two men digging for treasure at the foot of Gunung Jerai have been found today after they were buried under 15m of earth in a landslide yesterday afternoon.

    Kedah Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) Senior Assistant Commissioner Sayani Saidon said the body of Roslan Saidin, 52, was spotted at 10.49am and recovered at 11.36am.

    “The body of the second victim (Md Noor Shaari, 68) was found at 12.53pm and was retrieved at 1.01pm, while the entire operation was over at 1.15pm,“ she told reporters after a search and rescue operation at the scene of the incident, here today.

    She said even though the two victims were found one to two metres apart, it took a while to excavate as the second body was buried deeper.

    “We did not experience any difficulties during the operation due to the favourable weather conditions and the locations of the victims were detected by a tracker dog unit.

    “Two excavators were used in this operation and before digging to find the victims, we have to stabilise the soil structure first,“ Sayani said.

    In the 6pm Sunday incident, the victims were said to have been covered by falling earth due to a ground movement while excavating in 12m deep pit to find the treasure allegedly stored at the foothills of the mountain.

    Kuala Muda district police chief Assistant Commissioner Adzli Abu Shah said the issue was serious and advised the public not to be fooled by the rumours.

    “It is learned that there were looting of heritage properties at the location and I urge the public not to be involved in such unlawful activities.

    “Furthermore, according to the National Heritage Department (JWN), the activity is an offence under Section 86 of the National Heritage Act which provides for a fine of up to RM50,000 or jailed up to five years,“ he said.

    He said the authorities however classified the case as sudden death and the bodies of the victims were sent to Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital in Alor Star for post-mortem.

    He said the excavated area would also be rehabilitated to ensure safety at the location. – Bernama
