The Abia State Government has declared a resident wanted after he refused to present himself after testing positive for COVID-19.
Mr. Emmanuel Ononiwu reportedly escaped from a holding centre in Aba after testing positive for the deadly virus. Since his escape, he has refused to submit himself for appropriate medical management and isolation.
A statement by the Abia State Commissioner of Information, Chief John Okiyi-Kalu on Thursday said that Ononiwu, a resident of Aba, Abia state, escaped from a temporary holding facility in Aba prior to his movement to an isolation centre after being informed of his COVID-19 status.
All subsequent appeals made to him through his phone line fell on deaf ears as he insisted that he will not turn himself in and has gone ahead to switch off his line along with that of his spouse who is also required to come in immediately for testing.
Okiyi-Kalu stated that the last tracked location of Ononiwu was around Asa Triangle in Aba South LGA.
