This therefore means that a total number of 11,188 cases of Coronavirus were discharged within 24 hours.

This has therefore raised a lot of controversy as Nigerians has responded to this new update given by NCDC on Twitter. See some of the thoughts below:

I hope Minister for Information and Culture Mr. Lies Mohammed should understand that the said figure given by NCDC "11,000 COVID-19 patients is a clear HATE SPEECH against Nigerians.
Please when is NCDC going to give us the #5m?

NCDC discharged about 11,000 COVID19 patients in 24hr

If this continues we will be the first country to successfully fight COVID 19.🥺

This is weird because, 10,946 Nigerians being managed at home suddenly recovered in a day.

Is it that, they were compiling the release of the daily figures or NCDC went out at once, to thousand of homes to test, and discovered that 10,946 have been delivered? https://t.co/W9KEfL0Xde
