Controversy have continued to trail the death of an alleged covid 19 patient in Ilorin, as conflicting reports have been circulating on the social media, as to the actual nature of his sickness, Fresh Insight TV can report.

While the government through a release signed by Rafiu Ajakaye the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor who also doubles as the spokesman of the Technical Committee on COVID-19 had described the death of the deceased as a result of a respiratory illness.

The University of Ilorin General Hospital where the deceased died described the cause of his death as food poisoning.

Ajakaye through the press release said
“The Kwara State Technical Committee on COVID-19 wishes to clarify that the state has not recorded any confirmed case of COVID-19. As of now, all the six samples tested from Kwara State have returned negative,” Rafiu Ajakaye, spokesman of the Kwara State Technical Committee on COVID-19, said in a statement in Ilorin.

“The committee states that there is no fact, at this moment, to support suggestions that a male patient who died on Wednesday night at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital was a COVID-19 patient.

“Findings by the medical advisory subcommittee revealed that the patient and his wife arrived from the United Kingdom, reportedly came to Ilorin on 20th March, 2020, and went into self-quarantine without reaching out to the government or the technical committee. On the 13th day of the self-quarantine, the husband suddenly had difficulties breathing after reportedly eating dinner and was rushed to the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital. Efforts to resuscitate him proved abortive and he was pronounced dead" he said.

Contradicting the government position however, the University of Ilorin teaching Hospital through a twin press release signed by one Ojuawo Ayobola, the public relation officer of Association of Residents Doctors UITH and another one signed by the secretary of UITH MDCAN ilorin Kwara State.

The release reads "The Executives are aware of a possible/ suspected case of COVID-19 that was admitted at the Accident and Emergency unit of the hospital on the 1st of April and died on the 2nd of April, 2020.

While we await the results of the investigations aimed at establishing the diagnosis, all exposed members during the management of this patient have started self isolation and are currently being giving all the necessary support by the ARD executives and the Epidemiology department" Ojuawo stressed

While on the part of MDCAN it reads "A patient with symptoms of food poisoning who was said to have been on self isolation for 13 days following his return from the UK (hence, suspected case of COVID-19) was admitted yesterday and died at the Medical Emergency ward today, Thursday 2nd April, 2020.

"In the spirit of proactiveness by the management of the hospital, the Medical Emergency has been shut down and the process of fumigation has been initiated.

"Close contacts of the patient (doctors and nurses that attended to him and his family members) have started self-isolation while we await possible confirmation of COVID-19" it added.

Investigation by Fresh Insight TV however showed that the deceased suspected covid 19 patient who is an indigene of Offa is who's identity have been undisclosed is none other than a chartered Accountant and Auditor Alhaji Muideen Obanimomọ who flew into Nigeria on Friday, 20th March 2020, via Lagos, and immediately went into isolation upon his arrival haven noticed strange feelings.

Speaking with this medium on condition of anonymity, a cousin of the deceased said "He self isolated with his wife in Lagos, while sending his children to temporary stay with some relatives in other not to infect them.

" When rumours of a total lockdown of Lagos was announced, he called his friend who is a Professor of medicine by name Prof. (Dr.) AbdulSalam, who advised him to come down to Ilorin before the lockdown of Lagos which he agreed to.

"He came into Ilorin last week after being in self isolation for 3 days and was placed under treatment by his friend (Prof. Sulaiman) in his ilorin house where several kinds of medication ranging from
was administered on him.

When his condition deteriorated last night, he was rushed to SOBI specialist hospital which was under lock and key and then quickly rushed to UITH where he was firstly rejected, until Prof. Abdulsalam placed a call through to the CMD Prof.

and he was admitted and rushed to the emergency unit of the hospital at exactly
9:30pm by a professor who immediately called on all the Unit 3 doctors on duty to give him every necessary attention.

One of the doctors who attended to the deceased who spoke with Fresh Insight TV from isolation said "He was brought in the account of diarrhea which was said to have lasted that day. He had come into the country to weeks ago and suspectedly has been on self isolation taking home remedies of tumeric, ginger, pineapple and lemon.

"We all thought it was a case of food poisoning until some certain symptoms like spouting blood, wheezing and others were noticed" he added.

Speaking further, the deceased cousin said "Obanimomo died after doctors spent up to 45 minutes trying every means to resuscitate him. The doctors were regretful to have attended to him off guard and wished the professor had given them more open clue on the case.

"The hospital heads management came in latter in the afternoon to announce the case of a vivid infection and moved all the patient in the Emergency Medical to other wards so as to begin immediate provision for a fumigation" he added.

Further investigation by Fresh Insight TV showed that even when the medical personnel who treated the patient strongly suspected that he died of covid 19, test was not conducted on deceased to ascertain before he was released and taken to Offa for burial.

It was observed that the deceased upon arriving Offa, was taken in for the compulsory bath (Ghusl Janazah) for all Muslim deaths and he was bathed and prepared according to Islamic rites, which is advised against for deaths caused by covid 19 virus which is transferable through body contact.

Also, the said wife with which they traveled together who was supposed to be in self isolation was seen receiving mourners and having bodily contacts with several mourners.

Corroborating the suspicion that the deceased likely died of covid 19 virus, his friend who pleaded anonymity said "I started noticing he was unusually active on our what group since 10 days ago, he was always posting about covid 19, affirming that it is real among other things.

The questions begging for answers include:

(1) Since UITH have authoritatively concluded that the deceased died of food poisoning, why are they isolating their staffs who attended to the deceased and why are they fumigating the emergency unit, definitely not against "Food poisoning virus".

(2) Since UITH according to its release accepted that the deceased is a potential covid 19 carrier why didn't it take sample of the deceased for covid 19 test until he was buried ?

(3) How were they able to conclude he was covid 19 free when no such test was conducted on him ?

All these and many more are questions begging for answers.
