Five persons have been arrested in Abuja for claiming they are infected by the deadly disease, Coronavirus.

They were arrested at the Wuse General Hospital with false claims of having contracted the disease.

Parading the suspects, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Anjuguri Manza, said their names are; Peggy Shandi (M), Abayomi Adedoyin (M), David Gold Enemigin (M) Priscilla AJesola (F) and Jacob Oji (M).

Manza said that the suspects claimed to be playing out a script about the virus without the knowledge or authorisation of the relevant authorities of the FCTA.

According to Vanguard, the alleged pranksters had reportedly gone to the Wuse District Hospital claiming that one of them had been infected with the Coronavirus, an action which led to panic and confusion as well as a disruption of normal health service delivery at the hospital.

The police spokesperson said investigations into the activities of the suspects were ongoing.

One of the suspects Peggy Shandi said their action was merely a prank about the coronavirus.

The FCT Police Command said it was still investigating the case and on the conclusion, the suspects would be charged to court.
