Lagos health commissioner not positive for Coronavirus – Ministry

Contrary to reports circulating on social media to the effect that Lagos State Commissioner for health, Prof. Akin Abayomi has tested positive for Coronavirus, there is no iota of truth in the reports, according to the ministry.

In a statement issued on Friday by the ministry’s Director Public Affairs, Tunbosun Ogunbanwo, it described the reports as ‘fake news.’

The statement read, “The attention of the Lagos State Ministry of Health has been drawn to fake reports making the rounds that the Commissioner for Health, @ProfAkinAbayomi has tested positive to COVID19 infection.

“We hereby urge the public to disregard this absolute falsehood and fabricated report in its entirety.

“This is the hand work of mischief makers who are out to create unnecessary panic and fear amongst the populace. 

“Prof. AkinAbayomi is hale and hearty, in good health and has continued in his capacity as the Deputy Incident Commander of the #COVID19Lagos Intervention to coordinate activities and response in order to break the chain of transmission of the infection in Lagos.

“We implore citizens to rely only on the official and verified communication channels of the @followlasg and @LSMOH for #COVID19Lagos related news and information. Let’s take responsibility by sharing only confirmed and verified reports.”
