Tonto Dikeh through her NGO -Tonto Dikeh Foundation, has continued to show uncommon zeal in promoting safety measures against the pandemic in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and some northern States since the outbreak of the COVID - 19 in Nigeria last February 28.
She has equally been going about distributing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), cash, food items and other relief materials to the poor and vulnerable households to enhance their willingness to observe the prescribed safety measures against the pandemic, cooperate with the authorities on lockdown and cushion its effects on them.
Tonto Dikeh, her staff and volunteers were even recently attacked and they escaped death by the whisker from hungry mob who assaulted them while distributing relief items to the poor and vulnerable people.
Meanwhile, 35 new cases of COVID19 have been reported as follows:
19 in Lagos
9 in FCT
