Govt to sanction soldier’s wife for sneaking in from Katsina

Ekiti State Government has said the wife of a soldier, who brought Covid-19 disease from Katsina State, despite prohibition of interstate movements in the state, will be sanctioned.

The woman, who came to visit her husband working at Oye-Ekiti, was discovered to have contracted the pandemic after her husband alerted the task force when she started showing symptoms of the disease.

The Commissioner for Health, Dr. Mojisola Yaya-Kolade, who spoke on Wednesday in Ado-Ekiti, said the woman had committed an offence.

“Although it was the husband who alerted us, it is an offence against the state and the Ministry of Justice will take appropriate actions against her at the right time”, she said.
