These are not the best of times for individuals who met with the Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, when he came back from Germany.
On Tuesday, StatePress reported that the test result of the coronavirus conducted on Mr Kyari came out positive while that of President Buhari was negative.
Ever since the disclosure of the result, many individuals who met with the Chief of Staff have been pencilled down by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).
Among the list is Africa’s richest man and Founder of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote.
Dangote met with the Chief of Staff on Friday, March 20th, when medical experts believe he would have been contagious.
Mr Kyari also met with the Inspector General of Police on March 14th when he attended the wedding of the Police Chief’s son, Mohammed Adamu, in Abuja.
Among those who came in contact with Mr Kyari also includes the Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, who was pictured shaking the Chief of Staff when he led a government delegation to commiserate with him on the demise of his mother.
Mr Kyari was also at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, where he was pictured in close embrace with several ministers of the federation.
His close friend and confident, Babagana Kingibe, has been marked for testing by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control already.
