Nigeria has recorded 51 new cases of the novel coronavirus. The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, (NCDC) made this known on friday.
The new cases, the NCDC said, have brought the total number of confirmed coronavirus in the country to 493.
However, the Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Abba Kyari is d**d. The Media Adviser to Buhari, Femi Adesina, broke the news in a tweet few minutes ago.
The president’s chief of staff had gone on self-isolation late March after testing positive for the coronavirus disease.
