Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Muhammad Bello announced on Friday that he tested positive for COVID-19.
“I have tested positive for COVID-19. After a hide and seek period spanning 21 months (1yr 9 months) between COVID-19 and my humble self, the virus finally caught up with me during the dying days of 2021. After feeling unwell from 28th December, I decided to do a COVID-19 test yesterday morning,” he wrote in a Facebook post.
“The result came out positive this morning. Currently doing fine, with some sore throat, feverish feeling and mild running nose. Undertaking treatment and isolation at home.
“I salute and wish all the medical personnel in the FCT and beyond who have been in the front line fighting this pandemic a happy and prosperous new year 2022. I pray for the quick recovery of all of us currently afflicted with COVID-19.”
Bello said he was informed by experts that his case was mild because he took two shots of the COVID-19 vaccine.
“I appeal to all those who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 to do so,” he added.
