Benue State has recorded its first coronavirus case in the state capital, the state COVID-19 Action Committee says.
The committee made the announcement after a meeting with the state governor, Samuel Ortom.
One of eight suspected cases of people that came back from abroad, specifically the United Kingdom, was said to have tested positive.
Governor Ortom, who gave the name of the infected person as Susan Okpe, advised anyone who might have come in contact with her in the last 14 days to avail themselves for test and isolation as proactive steps have also been taken to stop the spread of the virus.
