A short video shared on X (formerly Twitter) seen by Daily Dates Nigeria on Wednesday showed Edun in the company of two other people at the event.

Some news platforms had earlier reported that Edun had taken ill and was initially receiving treatment in Nigeria. The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, confirmed the development.

A report by THE PUNCH on Tuesday, quoting a source from Western Post, revealed that the minister had travelled to the United Kingdom for further medical attention.It was also reported that Edun would not be attending this year’s World Bank and International Monetary Fund Annual Meetings in Washington, D.C.

The Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Olayemi Cardoso, is instead leading Nigeria’s delegation to the global finance meetings, which commenced on Tuesday, October 14.

He revealed he had not told Boris Johnson when he decided to take his family to County Durham after his wife developed Covid-19 symptoms.

Mr Cummings said he believed he had acted “reasonably” and within the law, BBC reports.

Mr Johnson said he understood “the confusion, anger and pain” felt and people “needed to hear” from his aide.

He added that Mr Cummings had acted “reasonably” and with “integrity and care for others”, but Labour and the Liberal Democrats accused both men of double standards.

During his statement, Mr Cummings revealed he had:

• travelled from work in Westminster to his home on 27 March after his wife – the journalist Mary Wakefield – fell ill, then returned to work hours later
• driven his wife and son from London to County Durham that evening
• stayed at a cottage on his parents’ farm
• developed Covid symptoms on 28 March
• driven on 3 April to pick up his wife and son from hospital, where his son had stayed overnight after he “threw up and had a bad fever”
• driven around 30 minutes from his family farm to the town of Barnard Castle on Easter Sunday (12 April) – 15 days after he had displayed symptoms – in an effort to test his eyesight and readiness to drive back to London
• taken his family back to London on 13 April
