Kwara State’s intelligence network on Friday uncovered a plot by some COVID-19 patients who sneaked into the state to escape.
The attempt was promptly foiled leading to arrest and return of the patients who had already scaled the fence.
The government expressed dismayed that the persons were among the imported cases who intentionally violated the interstate lockdown and came into the state.
The government said security had been further beefed up at its isolation centre just as it restated that COVID-19 was not a death sentence and that there was no reason why anyone would want to escape and put their own lives and the lives of other people at risk.
