Benue State First Lady, Eunice Ortom, and her son have tested positive for coronavirus.
Some of her staff have also tested positive for the disease and they have all gone into total isolation.
Mrs. Ortom made this known in a statement she issued Friday night.
Her declaration, she said, followed the results of the tests carried out by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC.
Her words: “A few moments ago this evening, I received my result from the tests earlier carried out on me by NCDC personnel on routine screening at Government House, Makurdi which returned that I, my son, and some staff are COVID-19 positive.
“We have from this moment, gone into total isolation as required by the protocol and would immediately begin the management treatment as advised by medical experts.”
