Pastor David Ibiyeomi is of the opinion that there is no coronavirus in Nigeria, he believes that it is being used as a ploy to steal money.
Adding to his statement, he noted that the borders were not closed because of malaria, which has claimed a lot of lives.
He referenced DAAR Communications founder, Raymond Dokpesi who said he was given Malaria drugs when he was being treated for coronavirus in an isolation centre.

Pastor Ibiyeomi said: “I told the people, what is Coronavirus? Coronavirus is only a virus that is Corona.
“People are making noise about Coronavirus. To me, it’s rubbish. Malaria, did we make noise about malaria?
“Malaria kills more people in Nigeria than Coronavirus. Everyday people die of malaria. So what are we talking about Coronavirus, closing border up and down for what?
“Nigeria does not even have it. I don’t think Nigeria has it.
“Because, you’ve heard Dokpesi, he said that they say he had it, it’s malaria tablet they gave him. So, if it’s Coronavirus, why will they give him malaria tablet?
“Nigeria, they’re using it to eat money, eat money. Governors eat money, corporations eat money, they tell lies, they’ll take money from federal aid. Government, they’ll take money from aid…
“In Nigeria, the people who have it, I don’t think they are up to the number they’re calling. The number they’re calling, I don’t think it’s the number. When one person has high temperature, fever, they’ll say ‘it’s Corona, quarantine him.”
