The case is an Italian citizen who works in Nigeria and returned from Milan, Italy to Lagos, Nigeria on the 25th of February 2020," Health Minister Osagie Ehanire said in a statement on Twitter.

The World Health Organization warned earlier this week that African health systems were ill-equipped to respond to the deadly coronavirus outbreaks should cases  start to proliferate on the continent.
