Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) on Sunday said the federal government should back up officials of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) with security agencies and send them back to Kogi state to ascertain the COVID-19 status of the residents.

The Kogi state government had alleged that there are attempts to declare fake COVID-19 cases in the state.
When a delegation from the NCDC visited the state on Thursday night, Governor Bello asked the team to go on 14-day isolation or leave the state immediately. The team then returned to Abuja.

However, speaking with Daily Independent, Sagay who described the action of the state government as an illegality, said Governor Yahaya Bello was behaving as if he will win a prize if he continues to claim that the state has no single case of COVID-19.

“That is a clear act of illegality. It is a clear case of provoking a more powerful entity than yourself and he got away with it. Even as a layman in medicine, nobody needs to tell me that Kogi state is probably full of COVID-19 infected people”.

“From all that Yahaya Bello is doing, he is covering up. It’s as if there is a prize he will win if he continues to say there is not a single case of COVID-19 in the state. It is very childish and infantile act”.

“Now, he is covering up but what what it means is that when the thing spreads and death toll continues to rise like the case in Kano, then he will be overwhelmed and nobody will tell him before he crawls back to the federal government”.

“What he did was illegal. He has no power to send back the NCDC officials who are acting under federal authority in this matter in which there is federal supremacy”.

“If the federal government wants, it can send those NCDC officials back to Kogi state with full security and they will go in, do all the tests they want. Nobody will lift a finger against them, nobody will talk. They will do the tests well and be satisfied with the might and law behind them”.

“So, Yahaya Bello is just testing an authority that is far higher than him but he should thank God that we have an accommodating Federal government. The NCDC officials know there are COVID-19 infected cases in the state and the whole thing is just a cover up. I suspect it is the same situation in Cross River” he said.

Is it by force to declare Kogi Covid-19 active state?

The virus is like pregnancy that can be hidden for long before it is revealed.

I hope that Kano have made sufficient test before enforcing a state that refuse to key into your mirage Covid-19

Don't get it twisted, Yahaya Bello, is part and parcel of this government, so if he's saying that there's no virus in his state, simply means that this COVID-19 does not exist in Nigeria!!!

Ever since the beginning of this pandemic, FG have never shown us the video of someone heavily down with the symptoms

For all we know, the Italian might be employed to act, there's nothing impossible in Nigeria so as to create public awareness, so that the Nigerian government can make monies from the international community

Why force a state to undergo the test when there's one desperately in need of it

Do you want to infect them with the virus

Racoon:
Dont worry much.Reality will soon become clearer on the state.Pregnancy cant be hidden for long.

I mean what's wrong with this government

They claimed that they don't have sufficient test kits to resolve the Kano crises then here you are forcing another state who has not reported any casualty to undergo a compulsory test

With which equipment The ones that are not enough

GamalNasser:
I reject playing into this WHO Plandemic script , is it by force that Kogi must have Covid ?

I mean, we live in heavily populated places, we have not seen anyone down with this virus

My take is that they are systematically wiping off those that knows about the Jubril/Buhari saga all in the name of Covid-19 in the North

There's a grand conspiracy going on

Unfortunately we don't have active/investigative journalism anymore, what we have are puppets in the hands of FG

Even of recent, we also learnt that what the Oyo State governor had was not covid-19

Has anyone even the government dig into the matter to know that what we might be experiencing in Nigeria might not be corona virus but a minor ailments or someone through a means polluting other people system for cover-ups or making money from the international community

So who's deceiving who

No mystyrious death in Kogi yet they keep accusing the gov of covering up.
