Fear has gripped a family in Limawa area of Minna, the Niger State capital, leading to their denying a family member access to the family compound over fear that he had contracted the Coronavirus disease.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) gathered from a family member, Malam Umar Mohammed, on Friday that the suspect, a tanker driver is his younger brother, but did not give more details.
Mohammed said that the suspect just returned from a trip to Lagos.
“We took the hard decision when we noticed that he was coughing and sneezing which we were told are some of the symptoms of the virus,” he said.
He said that trouble started when his brother returned from a trip from Lagos, but was denied access to his apartment by other members of the family who insisted that, he must report himself to the state task force against COVID-19.
The family source said that the family’s action forced his brother to report himself to the task force isolation Centre at the Minna General Hospital for necessary test.
He said that they took the decision to save the family members due to the large nature of the family.
