The State’s Commissioner for Health, Dr. Betta Edu said the request is urgent as hoodlums who vandalised the testing Center in the wake of the #EndSARS demonstrations made away with test samples, thereby putting their lives and those of others at risk.
She however implored the Federal Government, Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 and the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) to treat the request with immediacy.
