He went ahead to illustrate how they tricked the national laboratory by bringing in different samples of fruits and animals which were marked as human samples to confirm his assertions.

“However, when we took the sample of pawpaw and marked it ‘Elizabeth Ane, female, 26-year-old’, the results came out positive for coronavirus.
