Hummm

But NPA refuted the claim before...always seek clarity before public outbursts. QuickRecovery

You mean our oil is conrona positive?

What were they doing there please?

The issue happened offshore and the vessel sailed to Anchorage in Lagos but did not enter port so let's relax and stop panicking

Dear Punch, please ensure you also confirm things before publishing. Siem Marlin is an offshore construction and Supply vessel and not an oil rig. OSV's are also vessels as they are self propelled and has all regular crew members like all vessels.

But those working at TINCAN and Apapa ports are still working

Sheybi they said NCDC was lying b4.

Shey they were there asking for proof, instead of swinging to action, they want to fault effort of others. Who did this to us? It is well sha

OK nah.... You fiful shud quantinew! Quantinew kwo? Quantinew walahi!!

A day after their MD denied it

I hope some people are not using this pathetic situation to help themselves financially. Like I tweeted before, anyone who take a penny from the grant to combat COVID-19 for personal gain, the virus will kill him and his family.

OMG is this now someone will die... Just remember before you die tell God to forgive your sins make u no loss two zero

Please where are the Oil rigs in Lagos.

Now this shit's getting scary asf

NCDC might get thw figures right daya ago. 2 foreigners and 4 nigerians tested positive.

How are tested? While Sydney_TaIker is yet to be tested as requested

Shea the boss said they haven’t recorded any cases yet! Please remain safe out there people

What were they doing there
