Meanwhile, in the capital of Niger State, Minna; patients at a government treatment facility threatened to discharge themselves citing poor treatment. It is the second state to record such an incident in days coming on the heels of the Gombe State report.
Over in Ekiti State, the government says it will prosecute a man who snuck into the state despite a lockdown. The violator’s dad refused him entry into the home ordering him to go to the authorities to self-isolate.
The video of the father-son interaction went viral following which the dad was granted an audience by governor Kayode Fayemi. He was subsequently named a COVID-19 ambassador by the governor.
