The Executive Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi has tested positive for Coronavirus.

This announcement was made by the Ekiti state governor on his official twitter handle this morning, July 22.

His tweet reads:

In a related story, WITHIN NIGERIA reported that as a way to maintain NCDC guideline and contain the spread of COVID-19, the Ekiti government said it would begin to arrest those refusing to wear face masks in public places from Monday, July 20.

The Attorney General and Commisioner for Justice, Wale Fapounda, on Sunday told newsmen in Ado Ekiti that there would henceforth be stiffer penalties for those who fail to comply.

The commissioner said Gov. Kayode Fayemi was particularly worried about the deliberate lack of compliance with most COVID-19 regulations in the state.
