A recently discharged COVID-19 patient in Delta State has alleged that the virus doesn’t exist in Nigeria.
According to her the disease is being used to scare people and siphon funds as she insisted that she was never positive for the virus in the first place.

The 36 yr old was diagnosed with COVID-19 on April 17, and was placed in the state isolation centre amid vehement denials on her part that she was negative.
She called a press conference as soon as she was treated and released after 17 days at the isolation centre.
“It was an audio result that I got. They called me to tell me that I was positive but did not give me any result. Before I was taken there I already said the virus is not in this country. We cannot curb its spread if it is in this nation. The disease may be in the western world, but not here. Keeping me there (Isolation Center) was against my wish.
“The markets are crowded; if it is here more people would have been affected. The banks are also crowded. It’s a scam in this nation. I am a witness. I have been there. I may have stayed at the isolation centre, but I do not see myself as a COVID-19 patient.
“My friend who was with me before I was admitted is living his normal life. He is fine. His test was negative. How about my family at home? When I was sick my mother was the one bathing me and even slept in the same room with me many times. She is almost 70 and still living her normal life. Imagine the close contact she had with me.
“They did not plan the drama before they went on stage. They would have quarantined my family. The reports that the doctors that attended to me were all tested positive for COVID-19 are all fabricated stories.” she lamented.
Delta State currently has 26 confirmed COVID-19 cases, with 12 recoveries and five deaths.
