BREAKING: 155 Persons Die
In Yobe State Within Six Days
Over Suspected Coronavirus
Symptoms, State Governor
Coordinates Affairs From
Abuja

The deaths, which have caused panic
among residents of the state, is similar to
the situation experienced in Kano recently
where people in large numbers died
consistently for several days to what had
now been confirmed by the Presidential
Task Force on COVID-19 to be the virus.

No less than 155 persons have died in Gashua
and Potiskum areas of Yobe State over the last
six days after exhibiting symptoms related with
Coronavirus, SaharaReporters can confirm.

The deaths, which have caused panic among
residents of the state, is similar to the situation
experienced in Kano recently where people in
large numbers died consistently for several
days to what had now been confirmed by the
Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 to be the
virus.

Between April 30 and May 5, 98 people died in
Potiskum, a source told SaharaReporters on
Wednesday.

"Cemeteries are now the busiest places in these
towns.

"In Gashua town, at least 57 have died. Those
dying are mostly elders, yet the state
Committee on COVID-19 is sleeping in
Damaturu as if nothing is happening," another
source familiar with the situation, said.

SaharaReporters also gathered that instead of
addressing the challenges his state was facing,
Governor Mai Mala Buni has been away in
Abuja where he spends more than 80 per cent
of his time since being elected into office.

Recall that Buni recently gifted 14 Emirs luxury
Sports Utility Vehicles worth over N600m
despite the poverty rate in the state.
