New reports on social media has it that a big Nigerian celebrity who is positive to coronavirus, attended AMVCA 2020.
Though the reports has not been confirmed independently by gistlover, some journalists have since taken to social media to corroborate the claim.
Controversial Nigerian journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, took to twitter to claim that the unnamed celebrity attended the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) 2020, and a nightclub in V.I.
When asked by followers on why she didn’t name who the celebrity was, she referred to the government not also naming previous positive cases of coronavirus. She wrote on Twitter;
“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
If U attended #AMVCA2020 and a V.I nightclub last weekend PLS #StayHome at least 7-14 days and #selfquarantine urself. Fever, chills, coughing, sneezing pls get tested, wear mask and stay safe. Isolate yourself, wash hands and pls Celebrities DON’T CALL ME!
Under HIPAA laws. I CANNOT mention the sex. If you visited a popular V.I nightclub this past weekend Friday to Sunday get tested if you feel sick. Call @NCDCgov hotline 08000CORONA and #isolate ASAP.”
Stella Dimoko Korkus, also took to Instagram to talk about the alleged case, urging her followers who attended the AMVCA to self-quarantine. She wrote;
“This gist going around about someone with Coronavirus attending the AMVCA 2020 is crazy. Especially as this person allegedly came in with most of the stars. DIRECT CONTACT.
Please if you attended the event, quarantine yourself at once and call everyone U have been with to also do same before we have a Coronavirus emergency in Nigeria. If I finish investigating this and I am sure who it is I will announce their name. There is no need shielding anyone and anyone who does it’s a wicked person.”
