Some COVID-19 patients who sneaked into the state attempted to escape from Isolation centre in Kwara state
This attempt was promptly foiled leading to arrest and return of the patients who had already scaled the fence.
Rafiu Ajakaye Chief Pess Secretary to the Governor/Spokesman, Kwara State COVID-19 Committee said the incident happened on friday 15th May 2020
Ajakaye said in a statement said the government is dismayed that these persons were among the imported cases who intentionally violated the interstate lockdown and came into the state.
He added that security has been further beefed up at our isolation centre. The government restates that COVID-19 is not a death sentence and there is no reason why anyone would want to escape and put their own lives and the lives of other people at risk
