“No coronavirus in Nigeria, it’s a way of stealing money”- David Ibiyeomie
Salvation Ministries, Senior pastor, David Ibiyeomie has claimed that there is no coronavirus in Nigeria, adding that the virus is just an avenue for our leaders to steal.
Speaking further, he said that malaria kills more people and yet our border was not closed because of malaria.
He referenced DAAR Communications founder, Raymond Dokpesi who said he was given Malaria drugs when he was being treated for COVID-19 in an isolation centre.
Speaking from the pulpit, he said: “I told the people, what is Coronavirus? Coronavirus is only a virus that is Corona.”
He added: “People are making noise about Coronavirus. To me, it’s rubbish. Malaria, did we make noise about malaria?
“Malaria kills more people in Nigeria than Coronavirus. Everyday people die of malaria. So what are we talking about Coronavirus, closing border up and down for what?
“Nigeria does not even have it. I don’t think Nigeria has it.
“Because, you’ve heard Dokpesi, he said that they say he had it, it’s malaria tablet they gave him. So, if it’s Coronavirus, why will they give him malaria tablet?
Nigeria, they’re using it to eat money, eat money. Governors eat money, corporations eat money, they tell lies, they’ll take money from federal aid. Government, they’ll take money from aid…”
David Ibiyeomie also claimed that the Nigerian government is intentionally exaggerating the number of people who have the disease.
“In Nigeria, the people who have it, I don’t think they are up to the number they’re calling. The number they’re calling, I don’t think it’s the number. When one person has high temperature, fever, they’ll say ‘it’s Corona, quarantine him’.”
