The COS who didn’t self isolate himself after the trip has been blamed for the current outbreak at Aso Rock.
At the moment, three workers in his office have tested positive, but both President Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo have tested negative.

Boss Mustapha, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, who now heads the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 is also another Kyari contact.
So was the Inspector General of Police Mohammed Adamu.
Others are Garba Shehu, President Buhari’s SSA Media and Senator George Akume, Minister of Special Duties and Alhaji Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information.
Kyari visited Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello on 17 March on his return from Germany, to deliver Buhari’s message to Bello at the prayers marking the eighth day since the death of Bello’s mum.

Good for them. They have been embezzling our money, let them suffer this time around.
They stole our money and refused to build good hospitals, when they fall sick, they travel abroad for treatment now there is nothing of such. May God protect the poor ones, let the rich ones use their money to cure coronavirus

IS HE NOT THE UNQUESTIONABLE DE-FACTO PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA? HE DOES as he wishes, and the president himself could not stop him. The thing is that in Nigeria, many people soar too high above the law. They cannot be serviced because they know it all. But be you above every single Nigerian law as you like, in matters of life and death, we are all the same.
