Lagos has the highest toll, with 376 cases.

While a total 170 patients have been discharged in the country, 21 patients have died from the virus.

Checks by TheCable showed that despite increased COVID-19 testing in Nigeria, the country has tested fewer people than Djibouti, a country with a population of less than 1 million people.

TheCable understands that Nigeria, with only 7,153 people tested as of April 19, has remained one of the worst performers in the world when it comes to COVID-19 testing.
