The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, has announced four new cases of COVID-19 in Oyo State.

NCDC made the announcement in a tweet two minutes after midnight on Wednesday morning.

However, the announcement by NCDC contradicts an earlier announcement by the Executive Governor of the state, Engr. Seyi Makinde.
