The Lagos State Government has raised the alarm about fake COVID-19 medical certificates for international travellers in circulation.
The State Commissioner for Health, Prof Akin Abayomi, on Monday at a briefing on the novel disease stated that there was monkey business involved in the medical certificates mandated for international travelers saying government is in the process of apprehending those behind it with the view to take legal action against them.
“Positivity for inbound travellers is on the rise as Nigerians in Diaspora return to spend Christmas in Lagos. It has come to our attention that a number of people are patronising individuals that sell fake COVID-19 results.
“We are currently putting in processes to identify both buyers and sellers and we will not hesitate to prosecute them,” he said.
