Femi Fani-Kayode,
former Aviation Minister, on Monday reacted to the death of former Managing
Director of Pipelines and Products Marketing Company (PPMC), Suleiman Achimugu.
Fani-Kayode stated
that Achimugu was the second death recorded as a result of Coronavirus outbreak
in Nigeria.
Achimugu, who
returned to Nigeria from the United Kingdom a fortnight ago, started showing
symptoms of the virus last Tuesday.
He was said to have
died around 2:00am on Monday.
Shortly before Achimugu’s
death went public, the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) confirmed the
first death in Nigeria.
However, Fani-Kayode
alleges that Achimogus death is the second death to be recorded.
He claims that the
first death from coronavirus was an American in Ekiti State.
In a tweet,
Fani-Kayode wrote: “Former MD of PPMC Suleiman Achimugu has died from
Coronavirus. He is the 2nd casualty in Nigeria. The 1st was an American who
died in Ekiti state.
“Achimugu got back
from the UK 2 weeks ago. May the Lord defend & protect our nation and
people from this evil scourge and demonic plague.”
However, the NCDC
has confirmed that the death toll remains at one.
