You are a fraud, Twitter users drag Sydney Talker over false coronavirus alarm

Nigerians on Twitter have begun criticising comedian, Sydney Egere, popularly known as Sydney Talker, with many accusing him of insisting on a coronavirus test as a publicity stunt.

The 24-year-old on Saturday accused the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) of denying him a coronavirus test even though he was showing symptoms of the disease.

He was granted the test after sharing his experience on social media.

It did not end there, however, as Nigerians took to Twitter on Thursday to demand that he make his test result public.

This, he did on Thursday, with the test showing that he did not have the disease after all.
