According to Gidado, the deputy governor got tested when he showed symptoms of COVID-19 by the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC).
Tela became chairman of Covd-19 task force in the state when his boss Bala Mohammed tested positive after coming back from Germany in March.

He’s now in self-isolation as health professionals are attending to him.
Samples of all the contacts of the deputy governor have been taken by the NCDC for testing.
