Mr Rafiu Ajakaye, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor and Spokesman of Technical Committee on COVID-19, made this known in a statement in Ilorin.
“With this, the state now has a
total of 21 confirmed cases, out of which 13 are active and the
remaining eight have recovered and have since been discharged.
“We are sad to note that these five new
cases came from the 28 travellers from Sokoto/Kebbi axis that were
intercepted by the DSS at Oko Olowo area, Ilorin and were instantly
quarantined before they could mix with the population.
“Going forward, anyone who
crosses the border to Kwara State in defiance of the inter-state
lockdown directive would be turned back to wherever they were coming
from, no matter at what time of the day.
“The technical committee meanwhile has
approved the fumigation of various places on Saturday, including the
state secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists(NUJ), the Golf
Club, Government House, and the Governor’s Office.
“Other places to be fumigated include the
Emir’s Palace in Ilorin; the Diagnostic Centre; Radio Kwara complex,
Kwara Television complex, the Herald complex, University of Ilorin;
Kwara State House of Assembly Complex.
“It also included Ilorin International
Airport; State High Court premises; Olusola Saraki Abattoir, Post Office
