Former President Atiku Abubakar’s son, Mohammed who tested positive for coronavirus has denied giving the virus to Governor Mohammed Bala of Bauchi State.

A statement by his family reads; “Mohammed did not shake hands with Governor Bala Mohammed. He sat on a seat across the aisle on the Aero Contractors flight from Lagos to Abuja. Governor Bala was in Germany until the 15th of March 2020 and did not go into self isolation.”

The claim was backed by Governor Bala’s tweet in which he announced his meeting with leaders, policymakers and industrialists in Germany on March 13.
