Aso Villa shuts down as Chief of Staff Abba Kyari tests positive for coronavirus
Activities at the Aso Villa reportedly came to a halt today after President, Maj.Gen. (Retd) Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari tested positive for coronavirus.
According to Sahara Reporters, the lockdown was to prevent a further spread of the virus especially after Kyari came in contact with several high-ranking officials in the presidency.
Before being diagnosed with coronavirus, Kyari reportedly met with Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Buhari, Babagana Kingibe (an alleged member of the ‘cabal’) and Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello who he visited over the death of his mother.
Shehu and Kingibe are said to be self-isolating and it is speculated that Bello might also do same.
Kyari who became ill after returning from trips to Germany and Egypt where the virus has killed many is currently being isolated for treatment at a guest chalet in the Defence House in Abuja.
