Kogi Rejects COVID-19 Results, Says Its Mischief

By GWG Staff

The Kogi State Government has strongly rebuffed as mischief and fiction the declaration by the Nigeria Center for Disease Control, NCDC of two positive COVID-19 samples in the state.

The State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Saka Haruna Audu in a statement on Thursday said the declaration was strange to the government as he said the state remains COVID-19 free.

He said:

“Kogi State till this very moment is Covid-19 free. We have developed full testing capacity and have conducted hundreds of tests so far which have returned negative.

“We have also continued to insist that we will not be a party to any fictitious Covid-19 claims which is why we do not recognise any Covid-19 test conducted by any Kogite outside the boundaries of the State except those initiated by us. Any attempt to force us to announce a case of Covid-19 will be vehemently rejected.

“We continue to enjoin our people to take all necessary precautions to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic into the State and give no listening ears to rumour peddlers and mischief makers.

“We are more than prepared to secure the life of our people and have no interest in playing politics with their Health concerns. God bless Kogi State. God bless Nigeria!”
