The cleric said: “Today (Sunday), the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), confirmed to me that I am COVID-19 positive and I have to go into total isolation.

“One lesson that I want people to appreciate and understand is that everybody has to make himself available for testing if need be.”

Mamza said testing positive for the virus was not a death sentence and urged the people to pray for him and other confirmed cases.
