Fear of COVID-19: Nigerians flee as man slumped at Abuja market [Video]

A Nigerian woman, identified as Odette Okwukwe on Facebook has revealed how Nigerians fled at the sight of a collapsed man at Abuja Market on Friday.

Instead of helping the individual, the fear of COVID-19 forced them to do otherwise, the lady said.

"So I went to the market with Nwoke Anambala to pick up a few things for the ongoing work on site and this happened!

"The man slumped and lost consciousness, nobody refused to come close to him because of Coro, even the owner of the shop ran outside.

"COVID-19 will cause more problem in the long run than it actually should because of the fear factor. Kai!"

However, she said her husband and another man helped out as the owner of the shop also ran away.
