The Adamawa State Government says its COVID-19 index case was among the five patients discharged on Monday in Yola.
Governor Ahmadu Fintiri told newsmen that with the discharge, the state now has 12 active cases in its isolation centre.
The governor said the five patients were discharged after tests by the National Centre for Disease Control confirmed them negative.
Fintiri said: “I have the privilege and honour to ask the frontline health workers to discharge the five gentlemen, including the index case in the state.
“I congratulate all of you and wish that you integrate with your families and the society without any stigmatisation.”
He prayed that the remaining COVID-19 patients in the state would also be discharged after full recovery.
