A report from the Nigeria Center for Disease Control confirmed the first death in Nigeria caused by Coronavirus. The family of the deceased, Mr. Sulieman, who is the former boss of PPMC has accused NCDC of not being fit to handle the treatment of the coronavirus as they are the reason Mr. Sulieman died. He said interview with Sahara reporters;
“NCDC officials came to the house and took his blood specimen. Even though it tested positive, they never got back to us until he died at a hospital in Gwagwalada. We are all currently under quarantine in the house.”
NCDC has reacted to the allegations in a tweet, saying;
“Kindly note that NCDC will not be commenting on the management of individual cases. The management of cases is the responsibility of States and treatment centres and they are doing their best under difficult circumstances”
