The Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello has reversed lockdown order in Kabba-Bunu local government area of the state after three days, insisting that the state remains COVID-19 free.
Bello announced this in a state wide broadcast a while ago on Friday inspite of the three cases confirmed by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).
He said lifting the lockdown became necessary after samples taken from the LGA returned negative.
The Obaro of Kabba had Thursday pleaded to the governor to review the Lockdown order.
The Obaro said the Fulani Herdsmen had begun to destroy their farm land within 24 hours of lockdown.
