An senior employee of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Salihu Umar, announced on Twitter today that he had tested positive for coronavirus.
He said he had been in self-isolation since he returned to the country on March 20 but decided to take the coronavirus test after learning that a passenger on his flight, BA 0083 LHR – ABV, had tested positive.
He wrote, “I have just tested positive for COVID19.
“At the moment, I am still under self isolation as health personnel make their way to my house for evacuation to Gwagwalada isolation centre.
“My neighbours and employer have been notified accordingly.
Someone on my flight tested positive, that is to say everyone on that flight has been exposed.
Umar also called on the Federal Government to shut down Lagos and Abuja immediately in order to contain the spread.
