Cole, who is the co-founder and former Group Executive Director of energy conglomerate, Sahara Group, however, said in a tweet:
“I was on the BA75 flight of the 13th from London on which a lady tested positive for #COVID19Lagos. We’ve been asked by LSMOH to #selfisolate.”
He further went on to applaud the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) for measures taken at airports to document all passengers coming into Nigeria.
