Some COVID-19 patients who attempted to escape from isolation centre in Kwara State have been arrested and return to the facility.
Chief Pess Secretary to the Governor who double as the Spokesman, Kwara State COVID-19 Committee Rafiu Ajakaye said government’s intelligence network uncovered a plot by some COVID-19 patients who sneaked into the state to escape.
He added that this attempt was promptly foiled leading to arrest and return of the patients who had already scaled the fence.
Ajakaye said the government is dismayed that these persons were among the imported cases who intentionally violated the interstate lockdown and came into the state.
He also stated that security has further been beefed up at the isolation centre.
Ajakaye added that the government restates that COVID-19 is not a death sentence and there is no reason why anyone would want to escape and put their own lives and the lives of other people at risk.
