Nigerians who accused the government of not being transparent with the novel coronavirus pandemic have taken to Twitter with #EndCovidScamNow to protest the handling of the virus in the country.

The federal government through the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control have continued to release figures of people they claim have been infected with the coronavirus without showing their faces.

Nigerians who are not happy how the virus is being handled differently from what is obtainable in other places have accused the government of foul play.

Also, some patients who were said to have tested positive have also accused the government of failing to show them their test results, for which an index case from Benue state declared positive by the government has threatened to go to court after staying in an isolation centre for more than 30 days without showing any symptoms of the virus.

Nigerians on Twitter are now doubting if the numbers by NCDC are made up by the government in order to continue to get contributions which they claim end up being siphoned by unscrupulous elements in government.
