He said, “We have confirmed three other cases in Ondo state. One of the cases involves one of the recently arraigned suspects in the murder of Mrs Funke Olakunrin, Pa Fasoranti’s Daughter.
The three new cases included a policeman who got tested in Lagos but came to Ondo for treatment.
Akeredolu said the state Commissioner of Police, Undie Adie, has been duly informed and that line tracing of police officers and others in the SARs facility where the policeman was kept has started and their specimens are being collected.
Akeredolu said the suspect has been isolated from others and will be moved to the IDH for treatment.
