Report reaching the desk of Gossips24.com indicates that a Nigerian who tested positive for coronavirus in the Upper West Region has escaped.
The 46-year-old Nigerian, was part of 5 persons who came from abroad into the region.
Upper West Regional Police Commander DCOP Francis Aboagye Nyarko in an interview with Starr News said the command has already dispatched police personnel to hunt for the Nigerian.
He further mentioned that the man, who was supposed to be transported to the regional isolation centre by health authorities, disappeared from his residence at Wapaani, a suburb of Wa, shortly after receiving information that he had tested positive.
“Five out of the new cases were people who came from abroad, including one Nigerian and one person from the Western region.”
“But unfortunately for us, one of our confirmed cases cannot be traced. Having given him feedback on his test results, it has been very difficult to reach him,” Dr Afreh added.
“For almost 48 hours now, it has been difficult to reach him,” he stated.
