Osun state government said it has found a missing Coronavirus patient who left an isolation Centre in the state.
Earlier on Saturday, it was reported that six patients who had tested positive for the virus were purportedly missing.
But the Commissioner for Information in the state, Mrs. Funke Egbemode later dismissed the report claiming only one patient was missing from the isolation centre.
She also said the lone missing person had been found in his family home.
The patient was among the 127 people who returned from Abidjan, Ivory Coast and quarantined by the government in Gebu area of Ejigbo.
“Yes, we have found him”, Egbemode said.
“He simply went back to his family compound.
“It was easy tracing him since we have all their details – name, family compound, family name, telephone number and all others.
“Thank God we have him back,” she told an online news platform.
