A serving Nigerian naval officer, SM Ahmadu, who tested positive for Covid-19 in Delta State, has reportedly fled from an isolation center after he was refused permission to smoke weed.
Ahmadu, who is currently serving at the Base Maintenance Unit, was said to have absconded from the state COVID-19 isolation centre in Oghara town on Saturday where he was receiving treatment.
According to a source, the naval officer had requested to smoke marijuana when he was brought to the centre last week but was disallowed. “He came to the isolation centre with a knife, it was this knife he used to chase the security manning the gates before escaping,” the source said.
