“Yahaya Bello said they are using an unnamed app to check for corona virus in Kogi.

Why are Kogi people hiding this type of technology from the world? 

Why????”

“Seun (Channels TV): How many people have you tested

Yahaya Bello: We have an app, we have not yet tested anyone. No one has showed any symptoms or sickness.

Kogi state has zero reported case of covid-19″

“Buhari is your president, your governor is Yahaya Bello, On judgment day, just tell God you are from Kogi state, Nigeria. 

Your Heaven is automatic, you have suffered enough.”
