The Acting Health Secretary of the Federal Capital Territory Administration, Dr Kawu has promptly recovered the Personal Protective Equipment carelessly discarded by one of the undertakers who helped in laying Abba Kyari in the grave.

Earlier on, a viral video circulated of one of the undertakers discarding the PPE outside the burial ground carelessly, to the risk of many especially after handling a COVID-19 casualty.



The video, fortunately, gained traction to the officials of the FCT and they took control of the situation.

In a short snippet, Kawu said he is doing everything within his powers to ensure the mistake is corrected and the spread is controlled.

"I saw the video trending and contacted the public health department. They have taken the PPEs and identified the gentlemen in the cemetery and isolate them so they won't infect other people," Kawu said.



The team that went on the retrieval mission found a lot of careless discarded gloves and masks all over the cemetery and appropriately disposed of all of the used items.
