A man claiming to be the Uber driver who picked up the Italian man who is Nigeria’s first case of the Coronavirus disease has spoken out.
The man who went on twitter to alert the authorities of his contact with the infected Italian also dropped his phone number so he could be reached easily.
He added that he’d not only picked up the man but had also talked and even eaten with him in the course of the street.
