With Lagos missing among the 10 States and FCT that recorded new cases on Sunday, Taraba led the pack with 18 cases, while Ogun has 15 cases.

The no case for Lagos may be as a result of halt in testing owing to the #EndSARS crisis that engulfed the State for over three days, with government and privates properties burnt and looted.
