According to early reports by news house SaharaReporters on Monday, Mr Kyari has been serious “down” since returning from a trip abroad.

The Commander of Staff to the Presidency is said to be very ill and showing symptoms of the novel virus COVID19.

Reports have it that Mr Kyari since return has been engaged in government business and interacting with the ministers and other government officials in the federal executive council and the Electricity Regulatory Commission.
