Femi Fani-Kayode, a
former Minister of Aviation, has raised some questions concerning the 15
Chinese doctors that came into the country a month ago.
The last time
Nigerians heard of the Chinese men was when the Minister of Information and
Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed said they were working at isolation centres.
Recall that the
doctors arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on April 8,
2020.
The team reportedly
flew in with medical equipment worth about $1.5million.
The 15-member
medical team also reportedly completed their compulsory 14-day quarantine, and
all tested negative for COVID-19.
However, while
addressing the press during the daily briefing of the Presidential Task Force
on COVID-19 on Thursday, the Minister of Health, Dr.Osagie Ehanire, warned
reporters to stop asking him about the whereabouts of the Chinese medical team.
The minister
disclosed that the ministry was not their host, hence does not have updates on
their whereabouts, adding that some of them are Staff of CCECC, and that not
all of them were doctors.
Ehanire said, “On
the whereabouts of the Chinese Doctors, I want to explain that I think not all
of them were doctors and I heard that some of them are technicians but they are
staff of CCECC.
“The Ministry of
Health is not their host, so we cannot always explain what happened to them or
where they are.
“There seems to be a
lot of interest in these doctors, but they are staff of the company and I think
they are on the company visa.
“So, I will be very
happy if you do not ask me about where they are because they are not really our
guests.”
Asking questions
about their mission and whereabouts, Fani-Kayode tweeted, “Where are the 15
Chinese doctors? What is their mission? Who invited them?
“Is it true that
they are spreading and infecting our people with Covid-19 and testing new
vaccines on us?
“Are we Guinea pigs?
Why did the Minister of Health tell us to stop asking questions about the
Chinese?”
