The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) on Monday announced the death of Mr. Suleiman Achimugu, a former Managing Director of Pipeline and Product Marketing Company (PPMC), one of the confirmed cases of COVID -19 in the country.

According to the agency via its verified Twitter handle, Achimugu aged 67-year-old recently returned home following medical treatment in the UK.

He had underlying medical conditions- multiple myeloma and diabetes and was undergoing chemotherapy.

A statement, which was signed by Abubakar Achimugu on behalf of the deceased’s family, said the victim was in self-isolation upon his return from the UK and personally called NCDC after experiencing some discomfort related to COVID 19 symptoms.
