Drama As Suspected COVID-19 Woman Report Herself At Lagos Police Station
LAGOS APRIL 26TH (NEWSRANGERS)- A suspected COVID-19 patient on Sunday afternoon ran to a police station for help after several attempts to reach the National Center for Disease Control (NCDC) failed.
The woman, it was gathered, had
tried to reach the COVID-19 toll-free lines since she started developing
symptoms without success.
Desperate for survival, she was said to have walked from her residence to
Adekunle Police Station, Yaba in Lagos where she stood outside and announced
that she was having COVID-19. According to a source who spoke to The Nation,
the woman acted responsibly and told everyone at the station to not come near
her, explaining that coming to the station was the only option she had.
It was not funny. The woman said she walked down from her home to the station
and that she was very mindful of avoiding contact with other people.
“As soon as she got to the station, she announced that she had COVID-19 and that people should stay away from her. She said she came to the station because she was frustrated from calling the NCDC and isolation center without success.
“She then said her mind told her to
come to the station so that the police can call the ambulance for her,” said a
source.
It was gathered that the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) contacted the
isolation centre and an ambulance was sent to the station to carry the
suspected patient.
The Nation learnt that the areas the
woman touched and sat were also decontaminated by the team that came to carry
the woman.
