“The rise in COVID-19 cases brings into focus the gaping holes in Nigeria’s healthcare system and concerns about the government’s ability to respond to the pandemic,” said Anietie Ewang, Nigeria researcher at Human Rights Watch.
The agency also stated that three persons have been confirmed dead to the virus, bringing the total number of death to 167.
