The COVID-19 also known as the coronavirus is undoubtedly causing panic in most parts of the world and the number of infected persons in Nigeria is currently increasing as time continues to go on.
Despite the grave and dangerous nature of the coronavirus, a number of people in Nigeria still have doubts about the existence of the disease but it seems their doubts are about to be cleared.
News has been making the rounds on social media that a popular Nigerian celebrity has tested positive for the virus and that he attended the recently held Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA), where he mixed and interacted with a lot of other stars.
