The Kwara State Government has made known in a press release about some COVID19 patients who tried to escape the state’s isolation center but failed due to intervention :
Earlier today, Friday May 15th, 2020, the government’s intelligence network uncovered a plot by some COVID-19 patients who sneaked into the state to escape. This attempt was promptly foiled leading to arrest and return of the patients who had already scaled the fence.
The government is dismayed that these persons were among the imported cases who intentionally violated the interstate lockdown and came into the state.
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.
Rafiu Ajakaye. Chief Press Secretary to the Governor/Spokesman, Kwara State COVID-19 Committee May 15, 2020.
