Ace comedian Alibaba on Monday narrated how he survived COVID-19 infection, while many in the isolation center he was admitted died. 

Alibaba who apparently was treated at the Yaba COVID Centre said COVID-19 is real and not a scam in post on his official Instagram page on Monday.  

“Don’t let anyone tell you it’s a scam”, Alibaba said. “I just came out of isolation. Several people died while I was there.” 

Alibaba’s caution is coming at a time when many Nigerians appear not to take COVID prevention protocols seriously again. 

Some believe it is scam by some to make money from the pandemic related responses while others attribute the virus to some conspiracies about a new world order. These conjectures have however not been backed by facts or scientific proofs.

In Nigeria, over 90,000 cases of coronavirus have been reported, over 75,000 recoveries recorded, while over 1,200 deaths have been recorded as a result of coronavirus pandemic. 

Globally, over 85million cases of coronavirus have been reported while over 1.7million people have been killed by the virus.
