Mallam Abba Kyari’s death was the 11th recorded in Lagos since the COVID-19 outbreak.

His death was the only one announced on the Twitter handle of the Lagos State Ministry of Health late on Friday.

The LSMOH announces deaths in its facilities and other private clinics.

“One COVID19 death was recorded. This brings to 11, the number of #COVID19 related deaths in Lagos State”, LSMOH tweeted.

Kyari died in a private hospital in Ikoyi almost 18 days after he was admitted.
