In her words, she came into Nigeria from London on March 22 for her mother’s burial and was hoping to return to her family in the UK.

The patient stated that the hospital told her that because she was coming from a high-risk area, the standard procedure was for them to call the State Ministry of Health which she agreed to.

On her part, the photocopies of the result was sent to her and then she was transferred from to Abuja after she has been claimed positive for the virus.

According to Idoko “From the past 22 days, apart from when I went to the private hospital in Makurdi, where I was given analgesics for pain relieve, I have not taken a panadol from anybody both in Benue State Isolation Centre and here in Abuja Isolation Centre.

“The doctors come every day to ask for my welfare though. On April 3rd, the doctors said they suggest I take malaria treatment because I was coming from a place where there is no malaria and in Nigeria, there is malaria. I said I thought they brought me here for COVID-19, why malaria now?

She added “I am not sick. I am healthy here. I want to get out.

“I came for my mom’s burial but because of the lockdown, it’s been postponed. If the burial is not holding, let me go and meet my children in London, I am not sick.” Idoko complained.
