A former executive director of Sahara Group and a former governorship aspirant in Rivers State under All Progressives Congress, APC, Tonye Cole, is undergoing self-isolation after returning from London on flight with Nigeria’s third coronavirus patient.

On Tuesday, Nigeria confirmed its third case involving a 30-year-old female who returned from UK on March 13 after a 10-day stay. The lady arrived on BA 75 flight, leading to an announcement by the Lagos state government that other passengers on the flight should self-isolate.

In a tweet on Wednesday, Cole said he is acting in line with the government’s instruction on self-isolation. He commended the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) for putting measures in place to document information of passengers entering into the country.

“#workfromhome I was on the BA75 flight of the 13th from London on which a lady tested positive for #COVID19Lagos. We’ve been asked by LSMOH to #selfisolate. I’m grateful to
@NCDCgov for measures taken at airports to document all passengers coming into NIGERIA so we’re all safer,” he tweeted.
