Nigeria’s Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire said his ministry cannot always explain the whereabouts of 15 Chinese medical team, who recently came into the country to “help in the fight against coronavirus”.
KanyiDaily recalls that on April 8, 2020, a Chinese medical team arrived the country with medical supplies to help the Nigerian Government fight against Coronavirus.
Following their arrival, Ehanire disclosed that the Federal Government had sent the 15 Chinese doctors to 14 days Isolation before carrying out any support.
However, when asked about the whereabouts of the Chinese doctors on Thursday, May 14, Ehanire said he can’t explain what happened to them or where they are.

Speaking during the daily COVID-19 Presidential Task Force briefing, Ehanire said not all of the Chinese visitors earlier announced as medics have something to do with the medical profession.
According to him, the 15 Chinese were not guests of the Nigerian Government but of the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC).
“I want to explain that first of all,I think not all of them are 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 can’t always explain what happened to them or where they are,” the minster said.
“There seem to be a lot of interest in these doctors but they are a staff of a company. I’d be very happy if you don’t ask me where they are.
“They are not really our guests in that sense but we have been able to learn somethings from them, we shared ideas of what they did in their country in managing COVID-19,” he said.
Meanwhile, the leadership of the House of Representatives, had summoned the Chinese ambassador to Nigeria and expressed displeasure over the alleged inhuman treatment meted out on some Nigerians by the Chinese authorities in Beijing.

U cnt lie to Nigerians and called everyone fool before our eyes, this group of people came into the country when the government which u are part of, gave order for the closure of boder both land and air, with sea inclusive, and its only the government that can allow anyone into the country despite the lockdown, and u re bold enough to tell us u knw nothing abt them, because anyone that is not in the government knw nothinh abt government, please do well to think before u speech.. thanks
This present Government, from the head to the tail are all useless.. liars and devilish. I hate to think, talk or read about them. bunch of fools. God will surely punish all of them.. goats
I believe this is not our real minister of health, he has been clone. If he claims to be our health minister, kindly, inform him to go back and read the statement he gave when the so called Chinese men came into our Country.
The so-called civil engineering technicians among the team of medical doctors are no other persons but DOOR-LOCK Technicians who came to change the FINGER Print of the diseased Chief of Staff to another Pearson’s own. This is because after the passing away of president Buhari, the body decoy(double) who is presently been paraded as the President can’t be given full control of the access to Aso Rock Villa(since he is a foreigner from Niger and not one of the secretive cabals… He was just employed to function in the capacity of the president since he has the same physical appearance with Buhari… The 3 months that Buhari was said to be on sick bed in London was nothing else but a period meant to teach the would-be Buhari how to talk move and act like the real Buhari)…So the Finger print to the main entrance to the seat of government in Aso rock has to be that of one of the secretive cabals…
This Nigeria is a joke,Minister of Health does not know the whereabout of the Chinese health workers they brought to assist him to fight the pandemic,Buhari is looking for them,lia Muhamned has no knowlegde about their where about.i beg which kind country be this?God please just wipe out all the generations of politicians in Nigera.kill them all.Amen.
Stupid and unqualified leaders in this country; during a time virus pandemic and allowing Chinese nationals, where the virus originated, to come into Nigeria to fascilitate the spread.What nonesense to say that you don’t know their whereabout, just taking Nigerians for granted
After voting them into power, the put our lives on the line. may God help us all.
