The\u00a0Bauchi state<\/a>\u00a0government has confirmed that no fewer than 15 new cases of the dreaded COVID-19 disease have been recorded in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governor Bala Mohammed who revealed this in a press briefing on Wednesday also informed that the 15 COVID-19 cases recorded in Bauchi were from people travelling from Calabar, Cross River\u2019s capital city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking further, Governor Mohammed who cast aspersions on Cross River state\u2019s COVID-19-free status in his statement, further threatened to lock down Bauchi if the number of infections continued to increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to join issues with anybody,\u201d Mohammed said. \u201cBut I want to tell Nigerians that they are going to be accountable to God“.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is no need pretending that this thing is not there. We as leaders, we must come out and face the challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe in Bauchi, we are not pretending,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Governor also blamed the rising cases of infections on people\u2019s lax attitude towards health guidelines such as hand-washing, use of sanitisers and face masks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome of our places of worship, especially the mosques, they are the epicentre of infections, and nobody is doing anything,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am pleading with the people of Bauchi, if this thing continues to happen \u2013 we are bordered by seven states, some of them are worse \u2013 in order to secure the common people of Bauchi, I might have to lock up Bauchi,\u201d the governor concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
