The leader of Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) said he was treated for 14 days before subsequent tests carried out by the Nigeriia Center for Disease Control( NCDC) returned negative
According to him, he contracted the disease after his niece who visited his Abuja residence from Warri, became very ill and tested positive for coronavirus.
“Sometime last month, I got a call from one of my nieces that she was coming from Warri.I told her that you people in Warrri don’t observe Covid-19 protocols very well and I said she should stay in my guest house.
” On the third day she became very ill. She was very weak, coughing and that she has malaria. I directed that she should be taken to my clinic, Because she was coughing, the doctor said she should go for a covid test.
” The following day, Friday, the Health Minister sent doctors and 24 of us in the house were tested and on Saturday, the result came and nine of us tested positive.”
Clark said he and the rest were evacuated to an isolation centre where doctors took care of them
