Ekit Speaks On Prosecuting Soldier’s Wife Who Brought COVID-19 To The State

The Ekiti State Government has said it would prosecute the wife of a military officer who imported COVID-19 into the State at the right time.

This was disclosed by Dr. Mojisola Yaya-Kolade, the State’s Commissioner for Health.

She said the Army Officer’s wife will be prosecuted for defying the lockdown order of the State.

She said the woman would still be prosecuted despite the fact that her husband noticed her condition and raised an alert.

Yaya-Kolade said: “Though it was the husband who alerted us, it is an offence against the State and the Ministry of Justice will take appropriate actions against her at the right time.”

She said the woman has been quarantined for two weeks as a guideline given by the World Health Organisation.

Yaya-Kolade said the officer was the woman’s only contact since she arrived in the State.
