For the second time since the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, the Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, has gone into isolation.
This, according to his deputy, Benson Abounu, is due to contact with persons who tested positive for the virus including an unnamed permanent secretary and his relatives.
Mr Ortom had in July, last year, gone into isolation after his wife, son, and some aides tested positive for the virus.
However, speaking at the Armed Forces Interdenominational service held at the ECWA Church, Makurdi, the state’s capital, Mr Abounu disclosed the governor’s decision to go into isolation, following the medical report indicating that a certain permanent secretary and his family members tested positive for the virus.
