Covid 19: Abia State Executive Council To Be Tested

-
Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, his deputy, Ude Oko-Chukwu and members of the state executive council have submitted their samples to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control for COVID-19 test.

The state Commissioner for Information, Chief John Okiyi-Kalu, stated this on Monday.

He added that the decision became imperative after it was discovered that the late exco and member of the Inter-ministerial Committee on COVID-19, Chief Solomon Ogunji, who died on Saturday, May 23, 2020, contracted the disease before he passed on.

Okiyi-Kalu said, “Following the outcome of tests conducted on close family members of the late member of the state executive council and member of the Inter-ministerial Committee on COVID-19,

Abia State Governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, directed members of the committee and the exco who might have recently come in contact with the late commissioner to immediately undergo COVID-19 tests and isolate themselves thereafter pending the outcome of the tests.”

About 33 members of the state executive council volunteered themselves for sample collection, which a source said was done at the state Commissioners Quarters, Umuahia.

No deaths had been recorded in the state from the pandemic except by inference of commissioner’s death who didn’t test positive while alive.

She was said to have entered the senior officer’s room and stolen the jewellery. The female soldier subsequently sold the jewellery to a jeweller in Kaduna for N5 million.   Foresight news learnt that the army authorities did not want the public to know about the incident as it might lead to a debate as to how the senior officer’s wife acquired jewellery worth millions of Naira despite being a housewife.   The jeweller has also been arrested by the military police, SaharaReporters was told. “The army authorities have been careful over the issue because the general’s wife is a full housewife, so how come she has jewellery worth millions of Naira? The jewellery stolen by the soldier which was valued at N35 million was just part of her collections,” one of the sources said.   “The female soldier had long...

Senior Pastor, Dr. Paul Enenche of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, has shared a remarkable testimony about the power of tithing. In a recent sermon, he revealed how his wife’s practice of tithing food, including a bag of rice, led to a miraculous experience in their home. According to Pastor Enenche, his wife would regularly remove a portion of their food, including plantains, and give it out as tithe. While speaking, the pastor said, One day, they had a bag of rice that seemed to never finish, no matter how much they consumed. The more they fetched from the bag, the more it continued to replenish itself. His wife eventually became afraid and gave out the remaining rice. Pastor Enenche attributed this phenomenon to the power of tithing, which he has practiced consistently since his early days.
