State Ministry of Health says the Ministry’s Commissioner, Professor Akin Abayomi has not tested positive for Coronavirus.
The ministry said the information and reports making the rounds that the Commissioner for Health, @ProfAkinAbayomi has tested positive to COVID-19 infection is fake.
According to the statement issued by the Director, Public Affairs in the Ministry of Health, Mr. Tunbosun Ogunbanwo, the public is urged to disregard this absolute falsehood and fabricated report in its entirety, saying this is the hand work of mischief makers who are out to create unnecessary panic and fear amongst the populace.

Mr. Ogunbanwo implored citizens to rely only on the official and verified communication channels of the @followlasg and @LSMOH for #COVID19Lagos related news and information. Let’s take responsibility by sharing only confirmed and verified reports.
