Earlier on Friday, the nation’s Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, had confirmed that two out of three suspected cases had turned out negative.

However, in a tweet on Friday evening, Professor Abayomi said all three do not carry the virus.

“All the three #COVID19 suspected cases; travellers from France, England and China whose samples were collected yesterday for analysis have tested negative and they have been discharged,” he said.
