The cleric, who insisted that malaria kills more people than COVID-19, alleged that what most people are suffering from is malaria and not COVID-19, while also making reference to comments by High Chief Raymond Dokpesi.
Ibiyeomi also wondered how states like Rivers, without an isolation centre claimed to be discharging COVID-19 patients, adding that government and individuals involved in the purported management of the pandemic are only using it to make money.
