Dr Bowale Abimbola, the Chief Medical Director of Infectious Disease Hospital, Yaba, Lagos, has been diagnosed with the deadly coronavirus, according to SaharaReporters.

SR reported that an anonymous source revealed that the CMD is presently being treated in one of the wards in the hospital.

“Yes, he is positive, that’s why you haven’t seen him in public unlike before. It was even Dr Nifemi Bella Oloniniyi that received honourable members of Lagos State House of Assembly during their visit to our facility.

“I was told he had a meeting with someone who later showed symptoms of COVID-19, so his samples were immediately taken for test and his results returned positive last week,” a source told SaharaReporters.

As of Wednesday night, NCDC's report revealed that there are 1,728 coronavirus cases in Nigeria with at least 52 deaths.
