Dr Wasiu Olatunbosun, Oyo state’s Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism has revealed how he recovered from Coronavirus after spending 56 days in isolation. 

The commissioner who recalled going through six tests before being certified negative, said he took not less than 25 bottles of black seed oil, a bowl of black seed, lots of alligator pepper, bitter cola as well as different brands of herbal concoctions to beat Coronavirus.

Olatubosun said; 

“I took 25 bottles of black seed oil, a bowl of black seed, a lot of alligator pepper and bitter-cola as well as different brands of herbal concoctions, which I drank at interval and used for steaming after my normal drugs, but the utmost is prayers to overcome the trauma.”

The commissioner commended Governor Seyi Makinde for being “a worthy war commander that never abandoned his soldiers no matter their conditions”, and also appealed to the government to seek ways to supplement orthodox and traditional medicine, especially the use of local herbs for patients.

Olatubosun added; 

“You would not believe that while I was on self-isolation at home, some people still came to my house on Sallah day to celebrate with me.

“They did not fear at all. I had to send emissaries to them on phone with gifts and asked them to go home, it was that bad.”
