How is Nigeria succeeding in COVID-19 treatment – Shehu Sanni

A former Nigerian lawmaker, and human right activist Senator Shehu Sani, has reacted to revelations made by some discharged Coronavirus patients in Niheria.

He was reacting to statements credited to several Nigerians that have being to COVID-19 Isolation Centres accross Nigeria having tested positive to the deadly virus.

Recall that after media mogul High Chief
Dokpesi, the founder of DAAR Communications, was discharged from Isolation Centre in Abuja, he made a video that was well circulated in which he said he was confused, making comparisons between malaria and coronavirus infections.

Many other COVID-19 recovered patients, like him have made similar remarks in the past. In fact Bauchi State Governor claimed that what was administered on him before and got him treated was Chloroquine, an anti malaria drug.

But in a tweet on Friday night, Senator Sheu Sanni former lawmaker who represented Kaduna State in the red chambers wondered why Nigeria seems to be succeeding in the use of these drugs to tackle the dreaded COVID-19 while other nations are failing.

“High Chief Raymond Dokpesi and many others who went into Isolation revealed that they were treated with chloroquine, fully recovered and discharged”.

“How come we are succeeding and countries with advanced medical systems are failing and falling to the same virus? What is happening?” he tweeted.

Earlier, he had said, “Treated and discharged, treated and discharged. Why are we really too scared and panicky about what we can easily treat and discharge within days, if actually what we are treating and discharging is the same thing that is scaring us?

“And why is the World not taking notice of us but Madagascar?”
