Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has said the country must do all it can to “avert a second wave of Covid-19”.

In a tweet, he said he did not want the number of people contracting the virus in Nigeria to increase again, because the “economy is too fragile to bear another round of lockdown”.

Parts of Nigeria were placed in lockdown for around five weeks during the first wave of the pandemic earlier this year.

The president's comments come as a number of warehouses storing Covid-19 relief packages have been raided across different states in Nigeria.
