Five Abuja Residents arrested over prank of contracting Coronavirus

The Federal Capital Territory FCT Command of the Nigerian Police Force has arrested five Abuja residents who had visited the Wuse district hospital after reportedly claiming that one of them had coronavirus which according to them was a prank.

Director of Public Health in the FCT, Dr Josephine Okechukwu who disclosed this during the parade of the suspects said the FCT and indeed the country is free of the coronavirus as there is no confirmed case of the disease anywhere in Nigeria.

She described the action of the alleged pranksters as very wrong as it was capable of creating pandemonium especially in a hospital environment where the action took place.

One of the suspects Peggy Shandi said their action was merely a prank about the coronavirus, but the FCT Police Command said it was still investigating the case and on the conclusion, the suspects would be charged to court.
