No 10 new cases of COVID-19 here, apologise to us now – Zamfara Govt tells NCDC

The Zamfara state government has denied having 10 new cases of COVID-19 as was allegedly announced by the National Center for Diseases Control, NCDC.

The state therefore, demanded for an apology from the NCDC, saying it was improper to give Zamfara a wrong figure.

A statement  by the state taskforce on COVID-19 signed by the Secretary, information sub-committee, Mallam Mustapha Jafaru Kaura, said their attention was drawn to the daily update of new confirmed cases of COVID -19 victims as released by the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control(NCDC) nationwide with particular concern on the one released on Monday.

According to him, the release where the NCDC unilaterally allocated 10 new confirmed cases to Zamfara, was wrong.
