Attorney-General of Ekiti State and Commissioner for Justice Wale Fapohunda has tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
Mr Fapohunda disclosed this via his Twitter handle on Sunday night.
He said he had gone into self-isolation, while the solicitor-general of the state would take charge of all legal matters in his absence.
“The result of my second covid-19 test came out positive today. In line with the established protocols, I have commenced a period of self-isolation. In my absence, all state legal matters should be referred to the Solicitor-General of the State,” Fapohunda wrote.
This comes five days after Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi tested positive for the virus.
Fapohunda had held a series of physical meetings over the past few weeks, including one with the members of a gender based violence management committee on July 6, which the governor also attended.
