A son of former Vice-President, Mohammed Abubakar, has recovered from COVID-19 and discharged after testing negative twice.
The 31-year-old was confirmed to have contracted the virus on March 19 and subsequently transferred to an isolation centre in Abuja.
Experts described Atiku’s son 40-day ordeal as one of the longest ever recorded in the country since the first infection was confirmed in Lagos on February 27.
His father, Atiku Abubakar, in a brief appreciation message, said: “With gratitude to God, we are excited, It couldn’t have come at a better time of the Ramadan.
“I thank you all for your prayers, even as we remain indebted to the medical personnel who have stayed tireless in their efforts”.
Mohammed also said: “This is one of the everlasting lessons I can’t forget for the rest of my life.
“Indeed, I have been humbled by this experience. Words cannot sufficiently convey the depth of my joy over my recovery and discharge.”
