The Benue State COVID-19 index case<\/a>, Susan Idoko Okpe, has been discharged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okpe, who spent 58 days in the isolation centre, was discharged on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The COVID-19 patient was involved in a bitter feud with the Benue State government, Federal Government and the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC) shortly after testing positive for the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the woman was moved from Makurdi to Abuja, the COVID-19 case threatened the NCDC with a lawsuit if she was not released within seven days from the isolation centre in the nation\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okpe\u2019s daughter confirmed her mother\u2019s release from the isolation centre<\/a> in a post on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to her, she was released from the treatment centre on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
