All My Four Children Were Infected With COVID-19 – SGF, Boss Mustapha

Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) disclosed that four of his children contracted the coronavirus.

He made this disclosure on 21st December during a media briefing in Abuja.

According to the Chairman of the Presidential task force on COVID-19, he began his isolation period last week after he came in contact with the virus. He said that he and his wife tested negative for the virus while a one-year old family member tested positive for the virus. Currently, his children are receiving medical attention.

He said; 

“The first test we ran, the result came back with six members within my household testing positive. The second test confirmed another three. From the month of March to November, we are being confronted with a figure of nine. It was quite a traumatic experience. 

“My wife and I consistently tested negative but members of the household were infected. The last one, it was a nightmare. I was not infected but the truth about it, the agony of having members of your household… I am a father of four. All my four kids were infected.

“So, the agony that you go through even as a father, as a parent. A lot of you here are parents, so you need to do everything you can to ensure that you keep yourself and members of your family safe.”

Taking about why Nigeria is experiencing another rise in the number of cases, he blamed the increased number of gathering and the shrugging off of COVID-19 protocols.

He said; 

“A lot of discussion is still going on around the calls for the restriction of international travels due to the discovery of new strains of the virus in certain countries,”

“The PTF, aviation and health authorities including the WHO are assessing the situation closely and would take a position as soon as cogent scientific basis are established.”
