Some of them who spoke to Vanguard on the condition of anonymity said that they are now living in fears as the NCDC has not reached out to them for test.

A source in the presidency and specifically at the Chief of Staff office said, “We are now in God’s hands. Some of us have even volunteered to be tested but the NCDC is saying that it is only when one manifests the symptoms that they will test him.

“It is only God that will help us including you the journalists that cover the State House. Maybe what they are saying is that if anyone has the virus, let the person die and this has brought a lot of fear everywhere”.

“Even people have started to be afraid of the test kits because of the kind of information out there that the kits for the test are infested with the virus. This has even made it impossible for people to go out again for the test.

“The only consolation we have now is that the whole office has been fumigated, that settles everything,” the Presidency source said.
