Lagos Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control have given different statistics for the number of COVID-19 cases, recoveries and deaths in the state.

The NCDC statistics is also different in many respects from that supplied by the Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi.

According to the NCDC statistics dated July 31, 2020 and titled, ‘COVID-19 SITUATION REPORT 154, Friday, 31ST July 2020,” Lagos had 15,121 total confirmed cases, 2,148 discharged cases and 192 deaths.

The report also listed 78 new cases and three newly discharged patients as of July 31, 2020.

Again, NCDC states in the July 31 document that Lagos had 12,781 total active COVID cases.

The NCDC statistics is different from the one stated by Governor Sanwo-Olu for the same time frame, however.

At a Press briefing by Governor Sanwo-Olu on Saturday, as reported by the News Agency of Nigeria, he was quoted to have said, “As of July 31, Lagos State has had a total of 15,150 confirmed cases of COVID-19, with 10,835 persons who had recovered and [had been] discharged.

“We have sadly lost 194 persons to the virus.

“This leaves us with 1,813 active cases in community and 96 under management across various isolation centres in the state.”

The governor spoke at the Lagos House, Marina, on Saturday, August 1, 2020, while addressing Lagosians on the gradual easing of COVID-19 lockdown, NAN reported.

In its Sunday, August 2 update on national COVID-19 cases uploaded at 10:24am on its website, NCDC gave Lagos’ statistics as 15,186 lab confirmed COVID-19 cases, 12,846 as number of cases on admission, 2,148 discharged and 192 deaths.

The NCDC statistics gives Lagos a total of 15,186 out of the national 43,537 total confirmed COVID-19 cases.

In terms of the total number of 20,087 discharged COVID-19 cases nationally, Lagos has discharged 2,148, according to NCDC.

This is nowhere near Sanwo-Olu’s stated 10,835 “recovered and discharged” patients in the state, as NAN had stated.

Hehehe!!!

Everybody just de push narrative wey fit wetin dem wan achieve.

Whether any of them is correct or not, we may not know for now but time will tell

Why the different stats?

If the numbers don't add up, its definitely because the truth was never added in the equation. Every lie & scam has an expiry date so it's better for those cashing out to know that Nigerians have moved on. Very soon they will see no one in their isolation centres, and may decide to put mannequins and domestic animals there.

Which kind punch you be o cos I've search for this news online and you seem to be the online one reporting it.
