Buhari’s aide contracts Coronavirus

Sarki Abba, Senior Special Assistant on Domestic Affairs to president Muhammadu Buhari has been confirmed to have tested positive for the coronavirus disease.

The Informant247 gathered that Abba tested positive for the virus about fortnight ago and had not been sighted in the State House, since he tested positive for the deadly pandemic.

A reliable source in the Presidency said those, who had contact with him had been placed on self-isolation.

The source said the current status of Abba remains unknown weeks after.

“Abba tested positive for COVID-19 two weeks ago but his current status as we speak is unknown, whether he has tested negative or not.

“All I know is there’s conspiracy of silence with regards to his status,” the source said.

Part of Abba’s duties before testing positive for COVID-19 was to come out to pick visitors when they arrive the Presidential Villa to see President Buhari.

He also adjusts the President’s seat and moves with him everywhere.

It would be recalled that in April, Abba Kyari, Chief of Staff to President Buhari died of Coronavirus complications.

A renowned figure in the Buhari-led government, his death arose fears in the presidential villa, neccessitating strict preventive measures to be taken to protect the President.

Sahara reporters, however, in August detailed how Mamman Daura, a nephew of the President was moved a medical facility in the United Kingdom for treatment.

Daura was flown in a private jet to the UK after exhibiting respiratory difficulties with symptoms similar to Coronavirus.

He travelled at a time the ban imposed on international flights to curtail further spread of COVID-19 in Nigeria had not been lifted.
