Popular human rights activist and lawyer Femi Falana, has asked the Federal Government to investigate the death  of  Kyari.

He made the call  through  a statement   titled: “Time to Stop Official Impunity and Hypocrisy in the Fight against COVID-19.”

Falana said a probe into the death  had become inevitable  since no private hospital has been accredited by the NCDC to treat COVID-19 patients.

Falana recalled that while the  NCDC  directed anyone who tested  positive to COVID-19 to report for treatment in isolation centres, the former Chief of Staff   was allowed to be treated in a   private hospital in Ikoyi, Lagos.

He said that  since then, some influential people who tested positive to COVID-19 have been insisting on treatment in private hospitals without official authorization.

The SAN recalled that  the situation  made the Lagos State Government to issue a statement clarifying that the private hospital  was  granted permission to treat COVID-19 patients.

He said the position of the Lagos State government was  contrary to that of the Health Minister, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, whom he quoted to have said:  ”As at today, there is no private hospital that has been accredited to manage COVID-19 case in Nigeria.

“There is none in Abuja  that I know of. But, I think Lagos is looking at some accredited hospitals and there is one large hospital in Lagos that has called me that it wants to become a Coronavirus treatment centre.”

Falana lamented the breach of the fundamental rule of COVID-19 guidelines on treatment of persons with  the virus.

He lamented that the  crowd at the burial of Kyari was a clear  violationof   the NCDC guidelines.

The activist lawyer added, “Apart from defying the directive on social distancing, some members of the crowd disregarded the wearing of face masks.

“And in a rather bizzaire manner, a man who had taken part in the burial ceremony pulled off his Person Protective Equipment(PPE) and left it beside a car in Maitama District, Abuja.

“Upon the conclusion of the burial, video clips have been trending in the social media showing the crowd and the serial breaches of the NCDC guidelines by highly placed public officers and other members of the public at the burial site.”

He also noted that despite that the COVID 19 guideline on social distancing has not been lifted, some governors have suspended lockdown for Juma’at prayers at a time that the authorities in Saudi Arabia have banned any gathering for prayers and pilgrimages.

The lawyer noted that the Coronavirus pandemic has  been on the ascendancy in the country  due to the inconsistency and double standards of the NCDC and lack of coordination on the part of the Federal Government in addressing the health crisis.
