The Kogi State government have once again denied knowledge of the additional positive Covid-19 case recorded for the state by the National Centre for Disease Control, NCDC.

The NCDC late Wednesday announced 348 new cases of Covid-19 with with Lagos State recording 163, FCT 76 and Rivers State 21.

Delta, Nasarawa and Niger states recorded 8 cases respectively, Enugu 6, Bauchi, Edo Ekiti, Ondo and Gombe recorded 5 cases each, Banue has 4, Ogun 2, while Osun, Plateau, Kogi and Anambra had 1 each to their names.

However, in a twitter post by the Kogi State Ministry of Information, it said the ministry and indeed the state government wasn’t aware of the case, he described the new figure as a mere assumption.

It also accused the NCDC of conniving with the state based Federal Medical Centre, FMC to report more index cases of Coronavirus with their programmed devices.

"NCDC might be talking about another Kogi State somewhere; definitely not our own. Their desperation has made them lost touch with their rules of engagement and protocols.

"The machines they are bringing to Kogi State has been programmed to record a thousand cases for Kogi, using the Federal Medical Center, Lokoja. Anyone that goes there will be declared by them to have tested positive for #COVIDー19; that is their agenda".

Recall that there have been a running mistrust between the government of Kogi State and the NCDC over what the government described as opaqueness in the management of the covid-19 pandemic in the country. 

The government also accused NCDC of commercializing the pandemic, a venture that the governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello has promised not to be a part of.

Question: Who are we to believe between NCDC and Kogi Government?
