According to the NCDC, 23 were recorded in Lagos,12 in FCT,10 in Kano, 2 in Ogun, 1 in Oyo and 1 in Ekiti making a total of 542 across the country.
But in a tweet on Sunday the centre said the figures earlier reported were wrong.
“Yesterday, we erroneously reported one new case in Ekiti. This was wrong and was caused by an error in the verification process.”
Therefore, as of April 18 2020, there were 541 confirmed cases, 166 discharged and 19 deaths.

The NCDC however apologised to the government of Ekiti State for the error.
