COVID-19: NCDC should stop defrauding Nigeria - Kogi State

Following the confirmation of two cases of COVID-19 in Kogi State, the government has warned the Nigerian Center for Disease Control, NCDC, to stop Defrauding Nigerians.

This was stated by the Kogi State Commissioner of Information Kingsley Fanwo while speaking on Channels Television.

Kogi finally made the list of states in Nigeria with COVID-19 as announced by the NCDC on Wednesday.

The result has since been rejected by Kogi State which accused the NCDC of having an agenda with COVID-19.

"NCDC should stop defrauding this country. I am not one of those who think NCDC is helping this country. I am one of those who think NCDC has an agenda to spread COVID19 to all the states of the Federation. When there was no case in Kogi state, they did all they could to ensure that Kogi has a case. They are locking down the country, advising the presidency to lock down the country, the economy is bleeding.

"Other ailments are killing Nigerians while they are concentrating on a pandemic that has killed less people than malaria has killed in the last two months.

"As a state, we do not trust in the credibility of the NCDC", Fanwo said.
