The lockdown imposed on Kabba-Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi State has been lifted by Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State.

The governor made the announcement while speaking at the government houses in Lokoja, the state capital.

Yahaya Bello stated that the tests carried out in the suspected LGA came back negative informing his decision to lift the lockdown.

“This shows that we are moving out clean.

“Two weeks were set aside to carry out the exercise, but our medical team completed the exercise within 48 hours as a result of their effectiveness and efficiency.

“This is not the first time we have issues of health challenges.

“However, the mission of lockdown in Kabba-Bunu local government has been accomplished and therefore I lifted the total lockdown completely since there was no incident of COVID-19 recorded during the exercise,” he said.
