On June 27, 2020, Nigerian singer Peter Okoye, popularly known by the stage name Mr P, shared a harrowing account of his family's Covid-19 experience.
Mr P revealed that he, his wife Lola, and their daughter Aliona all tested positive for Covid-19 three weeks ago.
He shared the news in a series of videos posted on his social media platforms, recalling the difficult time his family went through.
"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," he said.
Mr P explained that when his daughter tested positive, his wife stayed with her in isolation, and he was left to self-isolate in his guest room, unable to see his sick daughter.
However, his wife's selfless act of taking their daughter to the master bedroom and caring for her changed the situation, and days later, their daughter was pronounced negative.
But the ordeal was not over yet, as Mr P's wife, Lola, tested positive the next day.
Fortunately, after a few days, Mr P, his wife, their daughter, and two of their domestic staff were all declared negative.
Mr P has since urged his fans to stay safe and adhere to Covid-19 guidelines.
