Prof. Akin Abayomi, Lagos State Commissioner for Health, has decried the sale of fake COVID-19 result certificates to international travellers in the state.

Speaking at a briefing in Lagos, on Monday, December 28, the commissioner said, “Positivity for inbound travellers is on the rise as Nigerians in the Diaspora return to spend Christmas in Lagos. It has come to our attention that a number of people are patronising individuals that sell fake COVID-19 results.
