Abia State government has announced that the escaped COVID-19 patient; one Vincent Prosper it had earlier declared wanted is now in their custody,

The Commissioner for Information in the state, Chief John Okiyi-Kalu in a Press Release on Saturday evening, April 18 revealed.

While recounting the efforts it took to trap the COVID-19 suspect, Okiyi-Kalu said that Prosper who had disappeared into the thin air after alerting the National Control Room of National Center for Disease and Control (NCDC) of manifesting symptoms of COVID-19 was apprehended Saturday morning at a-yet-to be disclosed location in Aba, the commercial nerve of the state through the efforts of the security agents.

The Commissioner for Information who stated that from facts gathered, the real name of the suspected victim isn’t Vincent Prosper as he had claimed when he called NCDC National Control Room, adding that the COVID-19 suspect is at the time of filing the report, at the Abia State COVID-19 Center at the Amachara General Hospital in Umuahia South Local Government Area of the state.

“COVID-19 patient COVID-19 medical Rapid Response (RR) Team in the state received information from NCDC national control room on a suspected COVID-19 patient named Vincent Prosper who called them from Abia State to report among other things that he was manifesting symptoms of the virus and recently had contacts with a confirmed patient in neighboring Akwa Ibom state in addition to recently returning from Lagos.

“Our team immediately swung into action and called the number forwarded, took notes and asked the individual to isolate himself pending our arrival to take samples for testing.

“On arrival at the given location, he disappeared and was later to confess that he saw the ambulance and the fully kitted RR-team, lost courage, detested the possibility of being locked down and decided to switch off his phone and disappear into thin air.

“We continued to look for him quietly and at some point got him again on the phone and he gave us a wrong address at Azikiwe Road and a team was immediately dispatched to the location but did not find him there.

“At that point, we decided to enlist the services of a top security agency in the state to find him and also alerted members of the public yesterday regarding the situation in the hope that he would voluntarily come forward. He never did!

“But late last night, the security agency pinned his location down and this morning our RR-team stormed the location with security agents and took him into custody at our isolation facility at Amachara where we have now collected samples from him and dispatched to NCDC for testing.

“He is now fully cooperating and all necessary information given, including the fact that while he actually recently returned from Lagos he didn’t visit Akwa Ibom state since his return though he resides in a border community to Akwa Ibom State.

“His real name is also not Vincent Prosper and he actually made the call to NCDC Control room.

“It is important to inform our people that COVID-19 is not a death sentence and nobody should be stigmatized because of it.

“If you suspect you are showing symptoms of the disease please call 0700 2242 362 and we will confidentially do the needful. So far, all samples tested from Abia State returned negative and we continue to handle issues with utmost confidentiality and professionalism.”
