Video: “Let our mother go!” – Children of Benue COVID-19 index case tell FG, NCDC

It is almost two months now since Susan Idoko Okpe, the Benue state COVID-19 index case has been isolation for allegedly testing positive to coronavirus.

Susan has being insisting from the beginning that she does not have the disease even as she was moved from the isolation Centre in Benue to the one in Abuja.

Now, her children have called on the Federal Government and the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC), demanding the release of their mum as she has now stayed for 57 days in isolation with no symptoms or treatment.

Days ago, Idoko disclosed that she has been in isolation for weeks now without showing any symptoms of the disease and since she has insisted that she does not have the virus, she has refused every medication given to her.

The Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire on Wednesday said Mrs. Idoko had refused to let the NCDC and other medical personnel take her samples so they can do a final test on her before she is discharged, a claim she has debunked, saying has had 5 tests with no result given to her.

In separate posts via their Instagram and Twitter, her children have cried out, demanding the immediate release of their mother.
