She however noted that they are undergoing treatment at a 250-bedspace specialist in Abeokuta.
Addressing the issue, Timi Coker said, “From the eight cases, five came from a cluster, it was the same cluster we got the five cases from; then, about 72 hours ago, we had eight returnees from Togo heading to Sokoto and Jos. We housed them here with a driver and a conductor, making 10 of them. We tested them about 48 hours ago, and out of the 10, we got eight results, so far, out of which three were positive. ”
When interrogated about their nationalities, she said, “They are Nigerian citizens, returning to the nation, they were met at the border of Imeko.” They are Nigerians returning from Togo.
