Nigerian comedian Owen Osamwengie also known as Owen Gee has narrated how his son contracted the dreaded coronavirus. According to him, the increase in numbers of infected people across the country should discourage the government from opening schools.
The celebrity made this known during a chat with Punch, as he kicked against the reopening of schools by the federal government.
“I have two kids, one is in primary while the other is in secondary school. Last term, one of my kids came home ill and was sick for a while. We kept treating him for malaria but to no avail,” he said.
He further narrated how himself and wife later contracted the virus from their son.
“My wife and I started taking care of him because we could not abandon him, he is our son. In the process of taking care of him, my wife and I also contracted the virus. It was a war for us, later on, his elder brother contracted the virus,” he added.
Owen Gee kicked against the government’s decision to reopen schools despite the second wave of the pandemic in the country.
