Aituaje Iruobe, a Nigerian singer better known as Waje, has
gone into isolation amid coronavirus scares after the 2020 African Magic
Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA).
The 2020 AMCVCA held last Saturday, uniting celebrities,
politicians and showbusiness moguls in a night that recognized deserving
individuals in TV and film.
There were, however, recent yet unconfirmed reports that one
of the celebrities who attended the annual event showed symptoms of COVID-19.
In reaction to this, Waje took to her Instagram on Friday to
disclose that she has gone into isolation.
“I got a lot of DMs and messages asking those who attended
the AMCVA to self-isolate and all of that. I know I attended the award so I’ll
definitely just stay home,” she said..
“I’m not panicking but I’ll try to contact the people that I
have been with over the past few days. I haven’t been able to do anything, so I
have deliverymen bring food over. I’ll send my list.
“The plan was to go shopping yesterday (Thursday) but I
couldn’t do that because I was unsettled. The only reason why we’re doing this
is to stay healthy and help others do so as well. No panic.”
“The suspected case hasn’t tested but came from the UK and
is down with coronavirus symptoms. He plans to fly right back out soon, but has
interacted with many people,” she wrote on Twitter.
“I have the receipts and if he continues to refuse to report
himself to the NCDC, I’ll whistle-blow. I called the NCDC helpline, provided
preliminary information to a representative.”
She added that the suspected case has finally reported
himself to the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) while warning her
colleagues who attended the event to self-isolate.
“In the meantime, if you attended the AMVCAs, please self
isolate immediately. If you have come in close contact with anyone who did, to
be safe, also self-isolate and watch yourself for some days,” she wrote.
“After I reported the issue last night, I planned to follow
up this morning but information reaching me this is that he has now also
reported himself so I will delete this thread to avoid further panic.”
