Reports regarding mass deaths in Kano have returned, the Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire has revealed.

Speaking during a briefing at the Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19, the minister said the report was being looked into and considered.

Explaining how useful the report will be in tackling the mass numbers of unaccounted dead bodies in the Northern region, Ehanire said the reports would assist the PTF in supporting the Kano State response.

"The report will guide us with supporting Kano state COVID19 taskforce with training and mobilisation. We would dispatch technical teams from the Ministry and Lagos to Kano to support the role of the state in the response. An emergency team from Abuja has left for Kano," the Minister stated.

Refusing to fully disclose the whole details of the report, the Health Minister opted to advise Nigerians on hygiene.

"Stay home and do not travel anywhere. You are safe where you are. Wear a mask and make sure to iron it every day," he urged Nigerians.
