An official of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, Salihu Umar, says he has tested positive for the novel COVID-19.
Umar said this in a tweet on Monday, barely two days after the FIRS authorities denied reports that its employee had tested positive for the virus.
He tweeted:
Lockdown Lagos & Abuja NOW, please please please.
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.
I have just tested positive for COVID-19. 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.
