Former Kano State Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Muazu Magaji, who lost his job because he allegedly celebrated the death of Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Mallam Abba Kyari from Covid-9 has tested positive for the virus.
Magaji, who said he was misunderstood and never intended to celebrate the death of Kyari, apologised for the statement.
However, he announced on a Facebook post on Thursday: “Salam brothers and sisters I have been down for some days now, NCDC protocol activated. Need your prayers.
“Dear all, I do truly apologise to you not getting across to me on phone or messages.
“I have been indisposed due to ongoing health challenges some of us going through in Kano. In Sha Allah it will be well.
“This morning my NCDC test is out. I have been confirmed COVID-19 positive and have been moved to one of the state facilities… pray for us.
“Going through a historical moment of our time. A time we will either live to remember or we will be remembered having lived in! Which ever applies Alhamdulillah!”
