COVID-19: Kogi index case known to me—Sen Melaye

Senator Dino Melaye has said that Covid-19 case in Kogi state is real and authentic, even as the family confirmed the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC)’s position on matter.

In a press statement on Saturday, the former senator who represented Kogi west senatorial district of the state noted that the index case from Kabba is personally known to him.

“I want to announce that the covid-19 case in Kogi is real and authentic and can not understand why any responsible government will want to deny and invariably kill her citizens.

“One of the cases is from Kabba and the victim is personally known to me. I cannot be part of those who will play politics with the lives of my people.
