Amen Ogbongbemiga said he was 'well protective' of himself while protesting, but still tested positive
Oklahoma State University linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga says he tested positive for coronavirus after protesting in Tulsa.
“After attending a protest in Tulsa AND being well protective of myself, I have tested positive for COVID-19,” he wrote on Twitter. “Please, if you are going to protest, take care of yourself and stay safe.
Rev. Robert Turner helped organize Saturday’s protest, and said he was happy with how peaceful it turned out. . “I never heard any protesters say they wanted to do anybody harm... We were simply citizens wanting to hear from our leadership.”Those peaceful protests did, however, escalate into vandalism and destruction of property late Sunday, though Police Chief Wendell Franklin attributed the chaos to “rouge groups” taking advantage of the situation.
