Speaking with insideoyo.com on Wednesday morning, a political analyst and commentator, Mr Seun Ológùñdé Ibrahim said other zones have not been tested, that’s why the concentration of cases is in Ibadan zone alone.
He added that there are border towns in Oke Ogun especially Saki. He said testing needs to be carried out in those Zone too.
“You see, the reason we have concentration of cases in Ibadan is because Oke Ogun, Oyo, Ogbomoso, Ibarapa have not been tested. There are many border towns in Oke Ogun. Let the state government take the Covid-19 test to other zones too. So we can know our status and battle the deadly Covid-19 squarely.
“Especially in Saki, people are moving in and out to the neighboring countries” he said.
