Covid-19 Killed Two ‘Pastors In Denial’ At Isolation Centre – Ali Baba

Nigerian Comedian, Atunyota Akpobome, popularly known as Ali Baba has warned that the coronavirus pandemic is real and revealed that two pastors who defied warnings about the virus died in the centre where he was admitted.

Ali baba in a video on Monday shared his experience at the isolation center in Yaba area of Lagos, where he was also receiving treatment during the Christmas holiday before testing negative to the disease.

In the video, the comedian said several patients died at the Covid-19 centre, including pastors and doctors.

He however warned that Nigerians should stop doubting the covid-19 data daily issued by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control(NCDC).

Ali baba, in a tone laced with anger said “anyone who says COVID is a scam is a compound idiot and a fool.”

Many Nigerian pastors have doubted that Covid-19 is real, despite warnings that the life-threatening respiratory illness could hit anyone.

Also, despite the rising cases of the virus across Africa, many Nigerians still treat the threat with levity, with some accusing the government of using it as a means to raise funds from international bodies.

Meanwhile, the total number of cases confirmed since the outbreak of the disease in February 2020 is now 90,080.

Out of this number, 75,044 people have been discharged and 1,311 deaths have been recorded in 36 states and the FCT.
