Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the Governor Bello-led government insisted that the north-central state is still free of coronavirus scourge despite fresh discovery. The state's utter denial coincided with the report by Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) announcing two cases in the state.
Saka Haruna Audu, Kogi health commissioner, in a statement on Wednesday, May 27, said the state has conducted hundreds of Covid-19 tests out of which none came out positive.
He stressed that Kogi has a full testing capacity and any attempt to force the state to announce cases of coronavirus will be completely rejected.
The highlight of the NCDC's data on Wednesday evening, May 27, showed that Kogi joined the list of those with Covid-19 cases as Cross River is yet to record a single one.
The cases were confirmed by the federal health agency who gave an update via its Twitter page
In a related development, Governor Yahaya finally took heed to the warnings of the NCDC with the decision to impose a total lockdown in Kabba-Bunu local government area in the state.
The decision of the governor over the Kabba-Bunu LGA was made known on Monday, June 1, in a statement made available to Legit.ng by his chief press secretary, Onugwo Muhammed.
