Nollywood actor, John Okafor a.k.a Mr. Ibu has countered the narrative of the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria, stressing that he has not seen any personal proof of the existence of the disease in the country.

Ibu in a chat with The Nation Newspaper, said he is not scared of any virus, stressing that there is no pictorial evidence in the country showing those that have dead of COVID-19.

As at Wednesday, 15th July, 2020, over 13,487,894 people have contracted the virus, 7,878,258 recovered with 581,981 deaths, globally, based on the data collected from Worldometers.

In Nigeria the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC reported 33,613 cases of the pandemic as at Tuesday, July 14, 2020 with 754 deaths.

However, disputing the claims, Ibu said:

“I no dey fear anything I dey wear cloth waka on my own. Nothing dey here, nobody don die for this whole area, if you go another area nobody don die, go to stadium nobody don die. Let’s be sorry for ourselves.

“I’m telling everybody not just the government this, say only what you know do not exaggerate it. Na we dey take our mouth call sickness by im own, sickness dey pass on its own but na we dey call am for Nigeria. You won’t see COVID-19 because it’s not here.

“Are they not human beings, let them bring a picture of at least one person killed by COVID-19 and we find the family of such a person.

“COVID whatever is not in Nigeria, we have hot weather here, the disease is scared of us just as we are scared of it so it can’t come here,” he said.

Despite the statistics released by Nigeria Centre Disease Control (NCDC) showing that over 754 people have died of COVID-19 in the country, including high-profile personalities, the actor claimed that he has not witnessed any burial ceremony of someone who died of COVID-19.

“Have you ever attended any burial and they say na this thing kill am? have you ever gone to the hospital them say this person na Covid dey hold am? have you ever seen a family them say somebody na Covid na em kill am yesterday for family wey you know? You cannot, dem say dem say na em me and you dey hear. Even the sickness dey fear us,” he said.
