“For the purpose of putting the records
straight and dispelling false narratives about the itinerary of a son of
former Vice President, Abubakar currently undergoing treatment for COVID-19 infection, I wish to make the following clarifications:
“The clinical case returned to the country on March 17 via Switzerland from some business engagements in France and Switzerland.
“He attended a private meeting of
six persons same day in Lagos, stayed in his private house for the
night and took an Aero 5.20pm flight to Abuja on the March 18.
“The case did not travel with his family or any other but travelled alone by Emirates Airline.
“The case wore face mask as a precautionary measure since his arrival in Nigeria.
“The case did not show symptoms of
infection and voluntarily placed a call to National Centre for Disease
Control (NCDC) on arrival in Abuja late on March 18 to inform them he
had returned from COVID-19 prone country and desired to be tested,” he said.
He noted that on March 19, NCDC took the case blood sample and the result was positive on March 20.
It added that the son of the former vice
president subsequently went into self isolation to protect his family
within his own house.
“Meantime, his son has since tested
negative while his wife’s result is being awaited. The two persons are
currently in self isolation.
“We urge members of the public to
disregard the perfidious information that the case accessed open
locations. He was not at Play Lounge nor any other club in Abuja as
being mischievously bandied about.
“The case neither attended the Friday
Jumu’a prayers nor any social gathering until his evacuation to
Gwagwalada Specialist Hospital on the March 20, where he is being
treated and managed.
“It thank Nigerians for their prayers and support through this difficult time.
“Once again, it needs to be restated that
the risk and danger of #COVID-19 is real. Ensure you follow the World
Health Organisation (WHO) and NCDC guidelines on how to stay safe,” he added.
