This comes barely a week after controversial blogger Kemi Olunloyo said that a ‘“big” celebrity who graced the event tested positive.
“A BIG Nigerian Celebrity has tested positive for #Covid19. Just like the foreign ones announced, wait for the MSM. Fans don’t like me talking about their fave Celebrities. They ask me to mind my business so pls WASH YOUR HANDS and stay away from Celebrities,”she had tweeted.
