There was panic on Tuesday at the posh Games Village in Abuja following the evacuation of a woman and her three children suspected to have flauted the 14-day self-isolation directive.
The woman, who returned from the United Kingdom in the last two weeks, was also said to have observed the Juma’at Service at the mosque in the estate last Friday.
Most residents of the village remained indoors amid fears of more residents testing positive.
The National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and health authorities were said to have ordered the fumigation of the hospital in the estate where the woman and her children were evacuated.
But most residents were being advised to keep the evacuation under wraps in order not to cause stampede.
According to investigation by The Nation, the UK returnee had not complied with the directive of the Federal Government directive to self-isolate for 14 days.
It was learnt that the tempo of her activities had increased in the last two weeks in the village.
A top source, who spoke in confidence, said: “NCDC came with an ambulance to evacuate a woman and her three children who were found positive of COVID-19 at the clinic in the Games Village.
