The Italian alleged to have brought coronavirus into the country did not sleep at the Lagos Airport Hotel. The Managing Director of Lagos Airport Hotel Ltd, Mr Kayode Bakare, said in a statement on Monday.

There had been media reports that the Italian, who was on a business trip to Lafarge Plc, had lodged at the hotel in Lagos.

“The management of Lagos Airport Hotel Limited, Ikeja, wishes to state categorically that at no time did the Italian who was in Nigeria on a business meeting to Lafarge Plc lodge at Lagos Airport Hotel Limited, Ikeja.
