A staff of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, Salisu Umar, has tested positive to Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19).
Umar revealed this on his Twitter handle on Monday.
Umar, operating on Twitter as: @Necessary_Cho, has since been evacuated from his home in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja to the isolation centre in Gwagwalada after he called the National Centre for Disease Control.
He said he recently returned to the country via a flight on which one of the passengers had tested positive to COVID-19.
He tweeted: “I have just tested positive for COVID19.
“At the moment, I am still under self isolation as health personnel make their way to my house for evacuation to Gwagwalada isolation centre.
“My neighbours and employer have been notified accordingly.
“Someone on my flight tested positive, that is to say everyone on that flight has been exposed.
“Although, I’m in self isolation, time to go get tested ASAP.
“Lockdown Lagos & Abuja NOW, please please please.”
