Following the rapid increase in the cases of coronavirus worldwide, the Nigerian government is now putting measures in place to curb the spread in the country.
However, a Nigerian man has raised an alarm concerning the poor state of an isolation centre his cousin was kept in.
The cousin travelled down to the country from the United Kingdom for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme and was kept in Osun State.
@Chinyereoranugo disclosed that his cousin was deployed to Ekiti State for his NYSC orientation course.
However, he was quarantined and sent to Osun State after experiencing a constant cough.
Furthermore, he revealed that his cousin who has not been fed since yesterday has been complaining of dizziness after he was driven to Osun state in an inadequately kept ambulance.
He tweeted, “Please Nigerians, my family and I need your help at this time. My cousin who schooled in the Uk and returned home 26/01/2020 to serve in the NYSC was posted to Ekiti state for his orientation and he’s down with cough so has been quarantined and sent to Osun state.
but he’s not… but he’s not been fed since yesterday that he’s been quarantined and he’s complaining of dizziness.
Not only that, he was carried like a waybill in a poorly kept ambulance. It’s almost as if they want him dead so a case will be established.
Please help us speak to the authorities to give this boy food to eat so that he can even withstand whatever I’ll treatment awaits him.
My family is going to visit and see how he’s being treated. This is a boy who is ordinarily fragile but with one of the largest hearts on earth.
