The Chief Press Secretary to Osun State Governor, Ismail Omipidan, confirmed the arrival of the group to The Punch

Omipidan said, “We received them on Friday. They are about 120 in number that arrived from Ivory Coast and they will be observed for 14 days.

“During the period, they cannot receive visitors. Whoever visits them at the facility will join them in the isolation centre. We have made that clear to them and we are also closely monitoring them.”
