Susan Idoko Okpe, the Benue COVID-19 index case, has finally been released after 58 days of being in Isolation.
The cheering news was shared by her daughter, who said her mother was released on Wednesday evening, May 20.

In separate posts via their Instagram pages, the children of Mrs.Okpe cried out, demanding the immediate release of their mother.
And in the evenning of the same day, she was released.
