COVID-19: Buhari’s daughter in self-isolation after trip abroad

One of President Muhammadu Buhari’s daughters who recently returned from the United Kingdom has embarked on self-isolation following the discovery of Coronavirus in the country.

The President’s wife, Aisha Buhari, who disclosed this on her handle, @aishambuhari, said the young woman acted based on the advice of the Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire and the Presidential Task Force on Covid -19.

However, Mrs. Buhari did not reveal the identity of the woman in question.

She wrote: “Good afternoon Nigerians, earlier today (Thursday) my daughter returned from the UK being among the high-burden listed countries of COVID-19.

“Based on the advice of the Hon. Minister of Health Minister, Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 and that of NCDC, she is on self-isolation, not because she displayed any symptoms of the COVID-19.
