Ondo herbalist tells Nigerian government to allow him treat COVID-19 patients free of charge


Ondo based trado-medical practitioner,  Dr. Ola Olasumbo, has hinted that he could treat the dreaded coronavirus disease,  saying he should be allowed to treat patients free of charge. 

Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu had last week said the state would soon begin the use of herbal drugs for the treatment of COVID-19 patients.

Mr Olawasumbo while addressing journalists said  he had developed herbs that would cure COVID-19 and all its symptoms.

He said: “When the virus was reported in China with subsequent confirmed cases in other parts of the world, the association of herbal practitioners in Nigeria met and it was resolved that everyone should go into research towards finding a cure for the virus.

“After months of research, I discovered the drug which has already been produced. But what I’m waiting for now is NAFDAC’s approval for the clinical trial to commence.

“In the past, I have produced drugs which cured measles and chicken pox as well as other life threatening ailments. So, with this latest discovery, I’m certain that COVID-19 has been defeated.”
