According to sources, the news was shared by her daughter, who said her mother was released on Wednesday evening, May 20.

Recall that Okpe had been in a running battle with the Federal government and the NCDC shortly after she was reported to have tested positive for the novel Coronavirus and moved into an Isolation centre, first in Benue, and then in Abuja. All along, she had maintained that she wasn’t ill.

Yesterday, her children called on the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC), to release their mum who has been in Abuja Isolation centre for 57 days now.
