The Nigerian national who escaped from quarantine after testing positive for deadly  Coronavirus, Simon Okafor Chukudi has been apprehended by Ghana Police Personnels of the Upper West Regional Police Command.

Simon Okafor Chukudi who’s 46years tested positive for Covid-19 and instead of him to be at the isolation Centre, he escaped which was very disturbing because he may infect people with the virus. 

Upper West Regional Police did not sleep over it, Simon Okafor Chukudi was busted in a compound house near the Wa polytechnic.

He has since been handed over to the COVID-19 team led by the Upper West Regional Minister, Dr. Hafiz Bin Salih.

The Upper West Regional Police Commander, DCOP Francis Aboagye Nyarko confirmed the arrest.

Seven other people he came into contact with have also been picked up and placed under quarantine at the Upper West regional hospital.

The Nigerian national was kept under surveillance at his residence by officials of the Ghana Health Service awaiting the outcome of his test results for COVID-19 which came out positive last Monday.

He was however nowhere to be found when health officials followed up to his residence at Wapaani, a suburb of Wa to transport him to the isolation centre at the Upper West Regional Hospital.
