COVID-19: We don't know where Abba Kyari is - Lagos health commissioner

Prof. Akin Abayomi Prof. Akin Abayomi

Prof. Akin Abayomi, Lagos State Commissioner for Health has said that the state does not know where Abba Kyari, the Chief of Staff to President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari(retd.) is.

Kyari, who confirmed his diagnosis with coronavirus, should be at the Mainland Infectious Disease Hospital (IDH) isolation centre in Lagos.

IN his letter on Sunday, he stated that he would be in Lagos on Monday for further tests based on medical advice and reports claimes he was airlifted from Abuja to Lagos in an ambulance.

All these stories appear to be questionable as Prof. Abayomi and the state can not tell where Kyari is.

“I’m not aware of the Chief of Staff’s itinerary, so I don’t know where he is, we chat on WhatsApp but I cannot tell where he is from our chat.

“We’re exchanging information, but I haven’t asked him for his location.

“He seems well and happy and we’re exchanging information on strategic issues.

“It has been a long time we talked about his health. I presume he has made a full recovery,” Prof. Abayomi said in his address to reporters on Tuesday.

Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, had earlier alleged that Abba Kyari has “scampered” to Cuba for Coronavirus treatment.
