Mrs Okpe and the governments are in dispute over her COVID-19 status. A UK-based, the Nigerian came to Benue for burial and along the line subjected to COVID-19 test by the state government and allegedly tested positive culminating in her quarantined.
Upon her open contestation of the test result via a viral video of her, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, moved her to another isolation centre for a second opinion which gave the same result.
But the lady has remained adamant insisting she is negative and should be allowed to leave the isolation centre.
And now, she has taken a legal action against both Benue and the federal governments, according to the state deputy, Governor Benson Abounu.
Abounu, who doubles as the state chairman of the Emergency Committee on COVID-19, made this known in Makurdi while addressing newsmen on Thursday on the activities of the administration on the scourge.
