At least 18 Nigerian Army generals have tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19), military sources told Channels Television on Sunday.

The infected military officers were said to have had contact with late Major General Olu Irefin who died from COVID-19 complications last week.

According to the sources, the affected senior army officers were attendees of the 2020 Chief of Army Staff Annual Conference at the Nigerian Army Resource Centre in Abuja.

Besides, late General Irefin was said to have visited some of his colleagues at home before he attended the conference.

Thereafter, all the officers who attended the conference, their wives, and other members of their families who live with them, have been directed to isolate themselves for a week by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).

The sources revealed that the affected senior army officers were mostly those who came from outside Abuja and have been tested by officials of the NCDC.

However, others who were in the nation’s capital have yet to take the test for the virus.

Channels Television also learnt that the venue of the aborted conference – the Nigerian Army Resource Centre in Asokoro – has been decontaminated by health officials at the weekend

Major General Irefin fell ill at the 2020 Chief of Army Staff Conference last week and was taken to the hospital.

He was later confirmed to be positive for COVID-19 and was receiving treatment before he died.

The late general was the General Officer Commanding (GOC) Six Division of the Army in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.

-After using him to kill so many innocent souls in Obigbo, they took him out. A good lesson for the “One Nigerianists” working overtime against the re-emergence of a real African Nation, Biafra.

-Make una keep working for Oyiboman country called “Nigeria”. Una cup go full too!

The same fate that befell some patriots at the Lekki toll gate on 20/10/20 befalls any officer that was involved in the massacre of protesters.

Your mumu never do ?.
1. Its a fact that there are Generals from Igbo extraction among those told to go on isolation, are you trying to tell us Karma is also dealing with igbo tribesmen in the Nigerian armed forces ?.
2. Its a known fact by every man that death is certain upon everybody, what is not certain to man is the hour of death, the last time I checked Dim Ojukwu the great is still alive & commanding the Biafran Secret Service (BSS) from hell.

..audio infection which very conveniently affects Army officials after being summoned by the Endsars Panel,

same way Snake-wo Olu also claimed his own positive test result.

I guess Covid is the new 'Get Out Of Jail' free card undecided
