Someone sent this with a caption “Coronavirus patient arrested in Abakaliki” @NCDCgov please if this is how people are treated under the suspicion of being a case then every unit like this must be quarantined as possible cases as well. This is just too distasteful. #EndImpunity pic.twitter.com/MzgIHxy3iI

It’s quite disheartening that even health workers in Nigeria cannot judiciously carry out their duties. Actions like this makes the laymen doubt the existence of this virus.

If this guy really has the virus, abducting him in this manner is definitely not the best way to help him get the needed treatment.

They are in fact helping the rapid spread of this deadly virus in Nigeria.
