Nigerians have refused to believe the latest figures released by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) as they see them as inflated.
According to the new statistics, over 11,000 people were discharged in one day, something that is seen as unrealistic given the present medical terrain in the country.
Twitter users have reacted to the figures, mocking the national public health institute with sarcastic remarks.
