Posted by Shollay March 23, 2020

A Nigerian man identified as Salihu Umar (@Necessary_Cho) has a few moments ago on microblogging site, Twitter, disclosed that he has tested positive for the killer virus codenamed ‘COVID-19′.

Naija News understands that Umar had earlier tweeted that someone he was on the same flight with had tested positive for the virus, and this gave him concern that there is a possibility that everyone on the flight may have contacted the deadly Coronavirus.

Umar further noted that he has since isolated himself after finding out about the other victim.

He said; “Someone on my flight tested positive, that is to say, everyone on that flight has been exposed. Although, I’m in self-isolation, time to go get tested ASAP.”

A few moments after he had reported the above, Umar again tweeted that he has been confirmed positive for the Coronavirus pandemic.

He said, “I have just tested positive for COVID19. At the moment, I am still under self-isolation as health personnel make their way to my house for evacuation to Gwagwalada isolation centre.”

“My neighbours and employer have been notified accordingly.”
