Apostle Henry Ojagbohunmi denies confirming Coronavirus in Ondo coastal community

The Chairman of Egbe Omo Ilaje(Akure Chapter) Apostle Henry Ojagbohunmi, has described as untrue, rumours the he confirmed a case of Coronavirus from the coastal region of the state.

Ojagbohunmi, a front line Public Relations Practitioner stated this in a statement signed by him and made available to newsmen.

He said the report credited to him to confirm the cases of Coronavirus in the Ayetoro coastal community was calculated attempt by some people to cause division and raise the fear of the people of the riverine area of the state.

Ojagbohunmi  also denied discussing any case of Coronavirus with anyone as being posted by some elements on the facebook page of Ayetoro community.

He described the development as an antic by some people to smear his image and ridicule his personality,  saying he was not an authority in confirming cases of the diseases in the state.

Ojagbohunmi pointed out that the state government remained the only authority to confirm cases of Coronavirus in the state and wondered why some unscrupulous elements would link the duties to him.

He said “i am inclined to draw the attention of the Ondo State Government and the Security Agencies to a fake Facebook post, wherein it was alleged that there are confirmed cases of coronavirus in Ondo State nay Ilaje land.

From all indications and findings, it has been discovered that the said report was not only fake, but a wicked attempt to misinform the public, create unnecessary panic, undermine and thwart the measures being put in place by the State Government to forestall the pandemic.

“It is also an attempt to smear my good image and the credible broadcast outfit they claimed I used as a medium of disseminating the information”

He however called on the security operatives in the state to unravel those behind the fake news, saying
“we hereby call on the State Government and Security agencies to track the perpetrators of these dastardly acts and bring them to justice”

He however,  commended the state government for being proactive towards ensuring the spread of the virus in the state and said so far,  and with God on our side, Ondo State is still safe of the COVID 19 virus.
