The Dapo Abiodun government in Ogun State has ordered self isolation of all Chinese returning from their country.
It did this in a bid to forestall the spread of coronavirus, which first broke out in China and is spreading across the world.
Special Adviser to Governor Dapo Abiodun on Communications, Remmy Hazzan, told newsmen that security agents were deployed to the apartments of “returning Chinese nationals” to ensure an effective “self isolation”.
“What we have done is to effect self-isolation (of returning Chinese nationals) in the places where they live. We have them in quarries; some in farms and the estate in Ogun-Quandong Free Trade Zone, Igbesa, is 100 per cent Chinese.
“These nationals are isolated in these places. As a matter of fact, we have security officials manning the entrances to all these places to forestall any breach.
“We also have people running errands for them (Chinese) to forestall the likelihood of anyone trying to go into neighbouring towns,” he said.
