Kano Commissioner who was sacked for ‘celebrating’ Abba Kyari’s death tests positive for Coronavirus

Former Kano state commissioner for works and infrastructure, Muaz Magaji has tested positive for Covid-19, weeks after being sacked for celebrating Abba Kyari’s death due to Covid-19.

He made this known via his Facebook page writing;

“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!“

Recall that Kano State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, fired Muaz after he appeared to be celebrating the passing of President Buhari’s chief of staff, Abba Kyari.

In a statement, Kano’s commissioner for information, Muhammad Garba, said Mr Magaji’s removal was as a result of “unguarded utterances against the person of the late Chief of Staff to the President, Malam Abba Kyari.”
