The Nigerian music star, whose real name is Douglas Jack Agu, in a series of tweets asked fans to drop their account details so he can credit them with money to help stock up.
In a tweet, Runtown vowed to donate ten million naira to support Nigerians as the spread of the virus is crippling economic and social activities.
He tweeted: “There are rumours of a looming lockdown considering the rising cases of infected persons with coronavirus in the country.
” As at the time of this report, Nigeria has 46 confirmed cases, two discharges and one death.
“Hope everyone is staying safe. Times are extremely tough and I am certain there are people with no money to stock up on survival essentials.
” I will be giving out 10 million naira to this cause. Kindly drop your account details.”
An actress, Toyin Abraham, also revealed that she has funded a supplier with N100, 000 to give out hand sanitisers to 100 people.(NAN)
