Meanwhile, Nigerian singer, Zlatan Ibile recently got cautioned over what many people have described as his lackadaisical attitude towards the fight against coronavirus in Nigeria.

Zlatan, however, was amused by this and reacted to the tweet with 4 laughing emojis. This did not sit well with presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad, who then cautioned him, reminding him that the situation was a matter of life and death, just as the president had said in his recent speech.
