IgbereTV reports that a Coronavirus patient at the Infectious Disease Control Center, Down Quarters, Kaduna State, has engaged a Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps personnel in a fight after attempting to escape from the facility after pretending to be going for early morning prayers.

The patient, whose identity was not disclosed was said to have attacked Corps Assistant Joshua Philip, one of the persons watching guard over the facility, after he prevented him from going out of the premises for fear of exposing other persons in the neighbourhood to the virus.

In a statement by Media Assistant to the Commandant General, Ekunola Gbenga, security had been beefed up around the isolation centre to prevent a similar occurrence.

The statement reads, “A COVID-19 patient attempted to escape from the isolation centre in Kaduna.

“A confrontation ensued between our personnel and the patient who forcefully picked the keys to the gate of the centre and tried to escape.

“The patient was arrested by Corps Assistant Joshua Philip who was among officers on duty at the isolation centre.

“The COVID-19 patient engaged Philip in serious fracas after he stopped him from leaving the isolation centre. This exposed the officer to COVID-19.

“The keys were disinfected and the doctor gave the personnel some drugs. He was instructed to self-isolate for two weeks and to call the centre if he developed any symptoms.

“The Corps has since strengthened its security measure at the isolation centre.”

You see how you reason? Shoot him for what? Do you think people would attempt to abscond from the centre if not for the stigma and myth you have created around this illness?

Oh North Korea, If it was there, by now the patient would have have been 10 feet under ground.....Trying to escape treatment when you have tested positive is wickedness and terrorism.

If I was the Civil defence officer I won't waste time in wasting that evil patient.

This has nothing to do with stigma!

What happens to the poor officer, colleagues, health workers and his family who could be in danger now because of this persons silly action knowing fully well the danger at hand ?
