The controversial index case of coronavirus in Benue State, Mrs Susan Idoko-Okpe, has finally been discharged.

The 58-year-old Nigerian-British had challenged the result of the test declaring her a COVID-19 patient.

Idoko-Okpe arrived in Nigeria from the United Kingdom on March 22 for her mother’s burial.

She had protested that a positive COVID-19 test result, which led to her being taken to the Benue State Isolation Centre in Makurdi on March 27 and subsequently to the National Hospital in Abuja, did not belong to her.

According to her daughter, she was discharged on Wednesday evening after more than 50 days in an isolation centre in the FCT.
