Following the fears and outrage expressed by Nigerians, some presidential aides and others who attended the burial of the late Chief of Staff to the President, Mallam Abba Kyari subjected themselves to COVID-19 testing, and the results have come back negative.
Kyari was buried weeks ago in Abuja following his death at a Lagos hospital where he was being treated of COVID-19.
In a statement on Sunday by the Acting secretary, Health and Human Services Secretariat, Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), Mohammed Kawu said: “The Health and Human Services Secretariat of the FCT Administration, is happy to announce that the individuals exposed during the burial of late Chief of staff to the President, Malam Abba Kyari, have completed their 14 days of isolation.
