The last time we heard about Paul Kobia was through a controversial video, about a month ago. He was in a yacht, posing for the camera as he warned that he was crossing over to President Vladimir Putin’s palace on the Black Sea coast near Proskoveevka, Russia.

Why Russia, you might ask! Well, a week before, Kobia had ranted that he was 'sick and tired of African presidents taking their people for a ride and getting economies in the deep'. He was thus set to travel and ‘discuss’ the matter with Putin, the Russian president. Clout chasing or not, that is what he said in yet another moving video.

Unfortunately, the latest news we are getting, from the controversial businessman who has been linked to a number of powerful investors and political faces in West Africa, is that he is serving a 14-day quarantine in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), where he tested positive for Covid-19. 

“I have tested coronavirus positive here in Dubai and I have been quarantined for 14 days in Dubai city. I urge fellow Kenyans to stay safe as coronavirus is real. Please wear your face mask always and observe social distancing all the time. God bless Kenyans,” he updated, breaking the news on social media.

Speaking to Standard Entertainment & Lifestyle, Kobia said he was receiving treatment in isolation and that he was in a stable condition. He said medical personalities had already been attached to him and he was getting attended to. “After I tested positive and got informed, I was at first shocked. I didn’t know how to approach such news. However, I was assured that I would have medical officers taking care of me. Dubai is a special place,” he said.
