On June 27, 2020, Nigerian singer Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, shared a harrowing account of his family's Covid-19 ordeal on social media.
According to Mr P, he, his wife Lola, and their daughter Aliona all tested positive for the virus three weeks ago.
He revealed that two of his domestic staff also contracted the virus earlier this month.
"For the past three weeks, I have been ill, and most people didn’t even know what was wrong with me. I kept it to myself. It has been three weeks of hell for me and my family," Mr P said in a video.
He explained that when his daughter tested positive, his wife stayed with her in isolation, calling him on video to check on her.
"The next day, my wife did something very courageous. She picked our daughter from her room, held her and took her to the master bedroom and she called me and she started crying," Mr P recalled.
Fortunately, his daughter was later pronounced negative, but the ordeal was far from over. Mr P's wife, Lola, tested positive the following day.
However, the family is now happy to announce that they have all recovered from the virus, along with two of their domestic staff.
Mr P urged his fans to stay safe and adhere to Covid-19 guidelines.
