Ex-Lagos Commissioner’s mum dies after waiting 4 days for COVID-19 test results by lekanolas(op): 8:31am On May 14, 2020
A former Lagos State Commissioner for Home Affairs,, Dr Abdul Hakeem Abdul Lateef has lost his mother, Alhaja Risikat Balogun,

Alhaja Balogun breathed her last at her Ogba, Lagos residence. on Thursday.

Giving insight into the death of Alhaja Balogun, an aide of the ex-commissioner, AbdulGaniy Oladippupo, said she was rejected for treatment by a private hospital due to COVID-19 pandemic.

Oladippupo, said the hospital management rejected her for four days, insisting that Alhaja should be taken to the COVID-19 test centre first before they can have anything to do with her despite her urgent need for medical treatment.

However, when the results came out on Wednesday, it turned negative.

“Unfortunately, Mama died on Thursday morning, ” Oladippupo, said.

A statement from Dr. Abdul Lateef , who is also the Chief Imam of the Lagos State House of Assembly , said her mother would be laid to rest later today according to Islamic rights.

Dr Abdul Lateef, the immediate past Lagos State Amirul Hajj appealed to Lagosians not to come for the Janazah (funeral).

This, according to him, was to comply with the directives of the government on social distancing due to the pandemic coronavirus.

The late Alhaja Balogum was survived by seven children.

shocked










My condolence to the Family.


She died of old age and not covid19.
So anybody that dies now is as a result of coronavirus?
I pity anybody that will die in any hospital in Lagos and Kano cos his/her death will be pegged to covid19.

This covid19 is becoming a big scam in Nigeria.
Outside d country we see covid19 patients in ICU battling their lives but in Nigeria covid19 patients that has been quarantined are protesting on d road for lack of gud treatment by d govt.
Those in Gombe, Niger and Bauchi States quarantine center even came out nd block road in protest.
Today makes it exactly 51days that Benue woman first index case has been in isolation center without any symptoms yet they still kept her there.


Rip Alhaja
