Lagos State Clean Sheet Spoiled As It Records 59 New Cases of Coronavirus on Tuesday:

The Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) on Tuesday night reports confirmed one-hundred-and-seventeen new cases of Coronavirus pandemic with Lagos State having a larger position of the records as usual.

9jatoday understands that the development has spoiled the clean sheet enjoyed by the state in the previous report.

It could be recalled that Lagos State on Monday had a zero record of COVID-19 case as reported by the NCDC.

A development that stirred up worries among many Lagosians whose hope has been giving a fresh boost earlier.

The hope of victory over the global pandemic by Lagosians was turned down following the announcement on Tuesday night that the state records fifty-nine new cases of COVID-19 disease.

Meanwhile, some hoodlums in the state have been causing chaos among residents as they carry out daylight robberies and attacks.

This online platform is aware that some group of thugs whose name has become an anthem among Lagosians, ‘the one million boys’ have been causing chaos in some areas in the state since the inception of the lockdown order issued by the Babajide Sanwo-Olu led administration.

However, securities have been alerted and the state government is already taking necessary measures in silencing the hoodlums, 9jatoday understands.
