Ace comedian and MC, Atunyota Akpobome, more known as ‘Alibaba’, has warned Nigerians to take the Coronavirus pandemic serious, adding that COVID-19 is real, Njenje Media News reports.
He made this known in an Instagram post on Monday, where he posited that he witnessed people die from coronavirus.
Njenje Media News reports that the 55-year old stand up comedian had spent the Christmas and New Year holidays in isolation.
He advised Nigerians not to let anyone make them believe that COVID-19 is a scam.
In his words;
“I just came out of isolation. Several people died while I was there. Some of my close friends knew and they were very supportive”, Alibaba wrote.
He further thanked the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the health workers “risking their lives to keep others alive”.
“Observe all the protocols, people are dying and it’s not a joke. In fact, anyone who says COVID is a scam is a compound idiot and a fool”, Alibaba added.
