Governor Duoye Diri of Bayelsa has finally undergone a coronavirus test after initially denying having any contact with Abba Kyari, the Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari and Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, before they tested positive for coronavirus.

It had been reported earlier that the Bayelsa State Governor said when he met with Bala Mohammed at the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, he had not been infected with the virus. Duoye also revealed that he never met with Kyari as he was in Germany at that time.

However photos of Governor Diri undergoing the test has surfaced, barely 24 hours after he denied having any contact with Governor Bala and Abba Kyari.
