Former Kano State Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Muazu Magaji, has tested positive for COVID-19.
Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, had on April 18 sacked Magaji as a result of his unguarded utterances over the demise of Abba Kyari, the late Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari.

The commissioner, who took a swipe at the deceased in a series of Facebook post, had previously wished the late Kyari not to return as Chief of Staff to the President after testing positive for COVID-19 a few weeks ago.
On Thursday, in a Facebook post, Magaji said, “Dear all, I do truly apologize to you not getting across to me on phone or messages. I have been indispose due to ongoing health challenges some of us going through in Kano. In Sha Allah it will be well.
The former commissioner urged Nigerians to pray for him after his COVID-19 test was confirmed positive.
“This morning my NCDC test is out. I have been confirmed COVID-19 positive and have been moved to one of the state facilities… pray for us.”
