Atiku’s family has denied claims that Governor Bala Muhammed contracted coronavirus after a handshake with Atiku Mohammed.
Atiku and Bala Muhammed were said to have boarded an Aero aircraft where they met and exchanged greetings.
Shortly after news broke out that Atiku had tested positive to coronavirus, news came out that Bala Muhammed also tested positive. This led to speculations that Bala Mohammed must have gotten it from Atiku.
Atiku’s family ha now denied the claims in a chat with LIB: “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”, family aid in a Whatsapp message.
