There was pandemonium Friday   afternoon at  the Immigration office, Alagbon Close, Lagos,  as a Chinese woman fell down and started vomiting.

Passport seekers, immigration officers, visitors ,including Policemen and military personnel took to their heels on sighting the woman.

Many people were injured while other lost their documents as they scampered for safety .

An Immigration officer who spoke on the condition of anonymity said it was as if death had visited the place as  workers and visitors  ran for safety.

“The lady came to the operations department for some visa issues, she wore  mask when she came  on Thursday ,but she could not finish with what she came to do .She repeated her visit  today( Friday) ,but this time around ,she did not masked her face . As she was being attended to , she started feeling dizzy ,fell down and  started coughing and vomiting. My brother , everybody took to his or her heels’’, he  declared.

Continuing, he said: “The worst of it all was that her relations wanted to take her away ,but our officers prevented them.

We were able to kit ourselves and took her to a room .But those who were not courageous enough hurriedly closed for the day while people who came for one transaction or the other abandoned whatever they came to do. The worst thing is that we have been calling health emergency numbers and they have been promising that they were coming  but we are yet to see them ,but we are keeping vigil until they w come. We won’t let her go.

While adding that the woman kept insisting that nothing was wrong with her, the officer said she would not be allowed to go  until  health officers  carry out comprehensive check on her.

“We are not saying that she has the virus ,but with the symptoms  she was exhibiting, ,we won’t let her go till medical experts examine her .Yes ,we are handing her over to the appropriate office and not to her embassy ,he declared”.

A visitor to the Immigration Office who witnessed the drama, John Madu, said: “I only came to make enquiry when I saw people running helter skeletal and I joined in the rat race. I was later told that a Chinese woman fell down and started vomiting. My fear is that they said she was also there the previous day. If she test positive to the virus ,how will the government locate those that she would have had contacts with. We are lucky because people were not as many as they used to be in the office because of the travels ban to certain countries. Before now, people used to  visit the place in their hundreds, but there were not up 100 people at the scene’’.

As at 5 pm,  emergency health workers being expected were yet to arrive the Immigration office while heavily armed Immigration officers were  keeping  her under close surveillance.

Operation run for your dear life.

Hmmm
Can't blame anyone! Prevention is better than Cure!

About a hundred people at the office?
If such offices are unable to ensure strict crowd control (maximum of 50 persons, including staff), they should be closed.

Na waoo...the government is not really prepared for this. Imagine up till 5pm and the medical team have not responded...I just weak

Funny Nigeria people..

Someone can not fall in sick again in Nigeria without being rumor r of having the virus.

Na war oo

Wahala

The way Nigerians fear death ehn, they don't mind killing themselves just to avoid it.

Look at them overdosing on chloroquine (and the salt issue the other time).

A lot of us just lack common sense — not just ignorance or education.

They have told this useless government to close all public institutions but they will not hear.

Why are Abokis like this? Buhari close all public places

Prevention is better than cure

Skyfornia:

True, and it's not even an epidemic here and their haven't responded. This is even an immigration office oh, not a private residence or an ordinary public place.

Only God will help us; I believe I can't say that enough.

JAPA MODE!!!

Coronavirus is known to sneak into countries before it announced its arrival.


Nigerians watch your back.

If she is positive that will be a problem because nobody know how many people she had contact with.











Check my signature

Perilious times awaits us all...pls we should all be careful and vigilant as it appears thi virus is upon us.

I keep saying this present government is never serious with anything except when it concerns cows and rigging election. One thing they fail to understand is that if this escalate, they are also not safe. They can't escape it, even in their hidden home, it will locate them there.

People de avoid Chinese people now oh

But girls still de go Chinese restaurant for here oh

One thing I like Nigerians for is they love their lives more than anything. Even police japa when he remembers if he dies on duty, no one to take care of his family and before they access his pension, it will be decades.

damn
Imagine the flood of people she would have had contact with at different intervals.

Oops

Anybody that is sick now is a suspect

Social media will kill more people than coronavirus

Passport seekers, immigration officers, visitors ,including Policemen and military personnel took to their heels on sighting the woman

You should be more concerned there was not health response till 5pm.
The govt has made everybody loose common sense, see you blaming people that know they are on their own should any outbreak happens

Omo Na go run too

Misinformation will kill more Africans

“I only came to make enquiry when I saw people running helter skeletal and I joined in the rat race

Egungun be careful na express you dey go

The fact that Health workers didn't show up till 5pm should worry everyone.

God forbid that this escalates, Nigeria might be worse hit with this level of unpreparedness exhibited so far.

Okpari. Finally finally the hour has come

No health workers as at 5pm? We are in trouble o. Nigeria government is not ready at all. Na OYO for everybody o.
