The spokesman, police affairs ministry, Mr Seyi Odutayo, confirmed the development to newsmen on today (Tuesday).
He said, “I can confirm that the minister met with his foreign affairs counterpart last Thursday and following the announcement that Mr Geoffrey Onyeama tested positive for the virus, the minister of police affairs has also decided to go into isolation in compliance with the NCDC guidelines.”
