The spread of the coronavirus and possible contact with infected persons have made prominent Nigerians who attended Justice Oguntade’s 80th birthday party in London to go into self-isolation.
Those who have gone into self-isolation include the giant industrialist and founder, Eleganza Group of companies, Chief Razaq Okoya; as well as a former Governor of Ogun State, Chief Olusegun Osoba.
Osoba, Okoya, the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun and his wife, Bamidele; a veteran musician, Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi; Kessington Adebutu (Baba Ijebu), Oba Saheed Elegushi, a popular businesswoman, Bola Shagaya and other prominent Nigerians attended the 80th birthday of the Nigerian High Commissioner in the United Kingdom, Justice George Oguntade, on March 10, 2020.
Osoba, in a chat with The Punch said it was true that two people, who attended the party, had died, but stated that unnecessary alarm was being raised.
Reports even have it that one other attendee is said to be on ventilator at a hospital in London.
