Africa Press-Nigeria :<\/p>\n

Analyses: 70 discharged, 10 deaths and 238 active cases.<\/p>\n

However, a further look at the data released by NCDC shows that the number of discharged patients are under-reported which, without much ado, renders the number released for active cases inaccurate.<\/p>\n

For instance, in Osun 10 patients were discharged around 2p.m. on April 11 from the state isolation centre situated at Ejigbo, a densely-populated town in the western senatorial district of the state, making it a total of 11 recovered patients thus far. But NCDC recorded one discharged for the state.<\/p>\n

In Oyo, the state governor, Seyi Makinde, announced on Saturday, April 11, that seven patients, including himself, had already recovered and discharged in the state. But NCDC recorded four discharged for the state.<\/p>\n

Bauchi: The state Commissioner for Health, Dr. Aliyu Maigoro, announced on Thursday, April, nine that the state only have four cases thus far, with two recoveries including the state governor, Senator Bala Mohammed. But NCDC, though initially recorded eight cases for the state, but has reduced the figure to six, following complaints from the state government.<\/p>\n

However, the NCDC on April 11, recorded zero discharged for Bauchi State, with six cases instead of four.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
