Abia State Government has released photographs of the person who absconded from a holding facility within the state after testing positive for COVID-19.
Emmanuel Ononiwu escaped from holding facility in Aba just before he was to be moved to an isolation centre. He switched off his cellphone afterwards and in addition his spouse has remained unreachable regardless of calls for her to present herself for a test.
The Abia state government has now released photographs of Ononiwu in a bid to recapture him and pressure him to go into isolation.
Sharing photographs of the COVID-19 affected person, the Abia state government wrote: “Wanted Person: Emmanuel Ononiwu.
