She reportedly died on Wednesday but her baby is said to be alive.

The Commissioner for Health, Mojisola Yahaya-Kolade, confirmed this to journalists in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital.

“The deceased, a pregnant 29-year-old female community health worker based in Lagos, was said to have sneaked into Ekiti in spite of the lockdown order in place,” the Commissioner added.
