First case of Coronavirus confirmed in Nigeria

The Federal Ministry of Health has confirmed a coronavirus disease (COVID-19) case in Lagos State, Nigeria.

A statement issued by the Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire, in the early hours of Friday said the case, which was confirmed on February 27, was the first case to be reported in Nigeria since the beginning of the outbreak in China in January 2020.

The statement said, “the case is an Italian citizen who works in Nigeria and returned from Milan, Italy to Lagos, Nigeria on the 25th of February 2020. He was confirmed by the Virology Laboratory of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, part of the Laboratory Network of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control. The patient is clinically stable, with no serious symptoms, and is being managed at the Infectious Disease Hospital in Yaba, Lagos.”

We are working to identify all the contacts of the patient since he arrived in Nigeria. Please, be reminded that most people who become infected may experience only a mild illness and recover easily, but it can be more severe in others, particularly the elderly and persons with other underlying chronic illnesses.

All Lagosians should take care of their health and maintain hand and respiratory hygiene to protect themselves and others, including their own families, following the precautions below:

1. Regularly and thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water, and use alcohol-based hand sanitiser.

2. Maintain at least 1 & half metres (5 feet) distance between you and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.

3. People coughing persistently or sneezing should stay indoors or keep a social distance, but not mix with a crowd.

4. Ensure that you and people around you follow good respiratory hygiene by covering mouths and noses with a handkerchief or tissue while sneezing or coughing. You can also sneeze or cough into your sleeve at the bent elbow. Then dispose of the used tissue immediately.

5. Stay indoors if you feel unwell with symptoms, such as fever, cough and difficulty in breathing. Please call Lagos State Emergency hotlines 08023169485 or 08033565529 or 08052817243 which are available day and night.

6. Stay informed on the latest developments about COVID-19 through official channels on TV and Radio, the Social Media, including the Lagos State Ministry of Health, NCDC and Federal Ministry of Health. Citizens must not abuse social media and indulge in spreading misinformation that causes fear and panic. The Lagos State Ministry of Health, in collaboration with Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, will continue to provide updates and will initiate all measures required to prevent the spread of an outbreak in Lagos.

Singer Iyanya granted N20 million bail over alleged car theft

A Lagos State High Court sitting in the Igbosere area on Thursday granted N20 million bail to Iyanya Mbuk, popularly known as Iyanya, over allegation of car theft.

The one-count was filed against him by the Special Fraud Unit of the Nigerian Police and he has pleaded not guilty to it during his arraignment.

Granting Iyanya bail, Justice Mobolanle Okikiolu-Ighile, said, “I have perused the affidavit and the counter-affidavit of the parties, and there is a prima facie case of criminal conversion against him.” 

“However, there is nothing to show that the defendant will interfere with the proceedings of this case and nothing to show that he will jump bail if granted. Bail is, therefore, granted to the defendant in the sum of N20 million with one surety in like sum.”

The judge ordered that the surety should have a landed property in Lagos with a certificate of occupancy. She added that the bail should be perfected within seven days from Thursday, “otherwise the bail shall be revoked.”

The case was subsequently adjourned until May 27 and 28 for trial.

In his bail application, Iyanya through his lawyer had among other things, argued that the charge was not a capital offence. He said that it was a business transaction which broke down and assured the court that if granted bail, he would not jump bail. 

“The defendant has always submitted himself to the police fraud unit whenever needed,” his counsel said.

The police filed the charge against Iyanya on March 15, 2019, while his arraignment was adjourned about six times due to his persistent failure to appear before the court.

The defendant, however, took his plea on February 4 after Justice Okikiolu-Ighile threatened to invoke the power of the court to ensure his attendance to take his plea on the alleged offence.

Agwu had told the court that Iyanya dishonestly converted to his personal use or of another person, a Black Toyota Land Cruiser Prado Jeep marked MAVINIY, with Chassis No. JTEBX7FJ7EK165480 and Engine No. 2TR1385954.

He explained that the said vehicle belonged to the complainant, The Temple Management Company Ltd, represented by a lawyer, Ayodeji Olomojobi.

The prosecutor told the court that Iyanya committed the offence sometime in September 2018.

He said that the offence committed contravened Section 285(10) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.

Although Queen has exaggerated physical strength, she also has internal issues she’s trying to deal with, and regardless of these, she goes out to fight for the world and what’s right. Women must know that we are strong and that whatever the circumstances are, we can surpass them, because we already are heroes which is reflected [in the series]” On being an
