The Gombe State government said Monday the First Class ruler of Tangale chiefdom in the state, Dr. Abdu Buba-Maisheru II, has recovered from COVID-19.
The monarch tested positive for the virus 12 days ago.
The Chairman of the state Task Force on COVID-19, Prof. Idris Mohammed, disclosed this during a daily press briefing on COVID-19 situation in the state.
He said: “It is a fact that Mai Tangale had COVID-19 infection and he was admitted and mercifully, he has fully recovered and had been discharged.”
He rejected criticisms that the taskforce was not transparent in handling the monarch’s COVID-19 case, saying “there was nothing fishy and we have never told you anything that is not true or transparent.
