Mohammed Atiku-Abubakar, a son of Nigeria’s former Vice-President has recovered from coronavirus having tested negative.
In series of tweets after he tested negative, he said:

“I have just received my second consecutive negative result,” 
“My discharge is currently being processed, and I hope to be home this evening.”

The Nigerian disease control office does not comment on individual cases.

Mr Atiku-Abubakar was first confirmed to have contracted the virus on March 19 and was subsequently transferred to an isolation centre on the outskirts of the Nigerian capital, Abuja.

The 31-year-old, however, failed to test negative for the virus until today, a 40-day ordeal that experts said could be amongst the longest ever recorded in the country since the first infection was confirmed in Lagos February 27.
