About 20 Generals have reportedly tested positive for COVID-19, after about one week the General Officer Commanding, 6 Division, Port-Harcourt, Rivers State, Maj. Gen. John Irefin, died of complications from the disease.
It is believed that the infected military officers had contact with the deceased during the Chief of Army Staff’s annual conference 2020, in Abuja, last week.
The conference was cancelled following Irefin’s passage and the participants, including the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai; the Minister of Defence, Bashir Magashi; and GOCs from nearly all the army divisions nationwide, were directed to go on self-isolation.
Meanwhile, Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, has gone into self-isolation after some members of his household tested positive for COVID-19.
