A man in Abuja, identified as Salihu
Umar on Monday took to his twitter handle to announce that he tested positive
for COVID-19.
He tweeted: “I have just tested positive for COVID19. At the
moment, I am still under self-isolation as health personnel make their way to
my house for evacuation to Gwagwalada isolation centre. My neighbours and
employer have been notified accordingly”.
Before Salihu announced the result of the test, he first
tweeted that someone on a flight he boarded tested positive for the virus and
that is to say everyone on that flight has been exposed to the virus.
“Someone on my flight tested positive, that is
to say everyone on that flight has been exposed. Although, I’m in
self-isolation, time to go get tested ASAP”.
Kindly note that as at the time of this report, the case was yet
to be confirmed by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC.
