Nigerian Instagram comedian Sydney Egere better known as Sydney Talker has cried out to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).

This is coming as the popular comedian revealed that he is showing symptoms of the novel coronavirus and needs to be tested.

Earlier, a video had gone viral of Talker trying to alert the NCDC of his critical condition but the NCDC via it’s Twitter page revealed it was a skit.

According to the NCDC Twitter handler, they reached out the individual who was said to be very sick but he has responded saying he is well.

The NCDC concluded by urging people not to spread panic.

In response to the tweet, the comedian refuted the NCDC’s claim that he is well. He wrote:
