Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, on Wednesday went into self- isolation, the government has said.
The self-isolation was sequel to the governor’s close contact with the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, and Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, who have both tested positive for coronavirus.
A statement, by special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Communication Strategy, Crusoe Osagie, said the governor has sent his samples for testing.
