Amid growing apprehensions over the spread of Coronavirus in Oyo state, Nigerian singer, Davido performed at a nightclub in Ibadan, the state capital on Saturday, March 21, 2020.
Despite warnings by federal and state governments for Nigerians to avoid large social gatherings, the singer went on with a show that had more than 50 people in attendance at Stone Cafe Ibadan.
On Sunday, March 22, 2020, Governor Seyi Makinde confirmed the first case of coronavirus in Oyo state.
The governor in a statement said the confirmation test for the suspected case at Bodija came back positive.
However, in a video posted on the Instagram page of Stone Cafe Ibadan, it was confirmed that Davido held the show at the club on Saturday night.
Health experts, including the World Health Organisation, strongly recommended social distancing, a practice that involves people keeping a physical distance of at least one metre from one another, as a potent form of suppressing the spread of COVID-19, a new strain of coronavirus currently ravaging the globe.
