BREAKING: Coronavirus: Ortom goes into isolation

Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has gone into isolation following his contact with coronavirus victims.

Engr Benson Abounu, the State Deputy Governor, made this known on Sunday at the Armed Forces Interdenominational service held at the ECWA Church, Makurdi.

According to Abounu, Ortom went into isolation following the medical report indicating that a certain Permanent Secretary (whose name he refused to reveal) and his family members tested positive for COVID-19.

“As I speak with you, the Governor has been in isolation for about nine days and has shown no symptoms or signs of the virus. So, am happy to inform you that by tomorrow, we should be able to certify him free and he will resume work,” Abounu said.
