However, Orisajo in his statement on Wednesday, May 13 told newsmen that “as at this period, the results of the samples of the nurse are also being awaited; the nurse is in high spirits.”

On his part, Professor Adewale Musa-Olomu, the Medical Director of the Abeokuta Federal Medical Centre, has described the development as relieving.

He said, “This is cheery news to me. This is an answer to our prayers. I am very optimistic that the remaining staff over there will soon be discharged.”
