Onyxnewsng reports that first Nigerian celebrity has allegedly tested positive for the deadly coronavirus disease.
The online news platform reports that controversial journalist and former Oyo state governor’s daughter, Kemi Olunloyo, made this claim on the micro-blogging site, Twitter on Thursday, 19 March.
The social media expert warned Nigerians to stay away from celebrities in order to stay safe.
Olunloyo’s claim comes amidst rumours that a man from the United Kingdom who attended the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) 2020 in Lagos and interacted with many is now showing symptoms of the deadly pandemic virus.
She offered an advice to those who attended the AMVCA 2020 show and a night club located on the Island to go for self-isolation.
She said: “A BIG Nigerian Celebrity has tested positive for #Covid19. Just like the foreign ones announced, wait for the MSM. Fans don’t like me talking about their fave Celebrities. They ask me to mind my business so pls WASH YOUR HANDS and stay away from Celebrities #CoronaVirusUpdate,” she tweeted.
