By Abolaji Adebayo
Benue State Deputy Governor who doubles as the Chairman of the State’s Action Committee on COVID-19, Benson Abounu, has announced that a Catholic Priest died from COVID-19 complications at the Benue State Teaching Hospital.
He said: ”In the last one week, we have recorded mortality at the Federal Medical Center in Makurdi, every day we recorded a mortality, including this morning. A Reverend Father passed on this morning.
“The other time, within five days we lost four prominent Benue people. So, this variant is not one that anybody should joke with.
“As much as possible, avoid going into any gathering of any nature for now. It is only if it is a must. The best treatment for COVID19 is prevention,” he said.
Benue state has 657 confirmed cases of the viral disease.
