I'm still pondering how there are no cases in Kogi State that shares boundaries with over 9 states.
What a mystery

Yahaya Bello is toying with the lives of Kogi state residents.
FMC, Lokoja, Kogi have started recording mysterious deaths and some of the deceased exhibited Covid-19 symptoms and respiratory problems.
No samples are taken, no test has been carried out.
Kogi is the next Kano!
