Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr Gbenga Omotoso, on Saturday disclosed that the state had enlisted 600 patients for the planned chloroquine clinical trials.

The state discharged 45 more patients on Saturday.

Omotoso said an independent board, which would be inaugurated, would monitor the process and give necessary advice to the state government on the progress of the trial.

Omotoso said, “In summary, we will be looking at about 600 patients. The trial will go on till we recruit the required number. There will be an independent Data and Safety Board. The board can advise that study be discontinued if the statistical evidence of the usefulness of a drug is overwhelming and in which case it becomes unethical to withhold it from other groups.”

Also, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has said the state was better able to handle COVID-19 given the experience it had with Ebola six years ago.


“That was also epic in Lagos and it gave Lagos some understanding about how serious infectious disease could be managed. We have an Infectious Disease Hospital in Yaba and even after the Ebola case, we had some international grants and over the last two to three years, we have built what we call a biosecurity lab level four, which can match any of its kind in the world,” he said.

Why go back to your vomit? You never gave it a trial before condemning the claims. Well we hope it works. Anything that alleviates this problem is welcomed.

We are just running trials on what has failed in other countries

All this move is just to loot to treasury.

People will be so much amazed when they see the expenditure of the Federal and State government on this pandemic.

It will be explosive!

Sad thing is that this is a waste of time.This will not do anything.

On 12 April, a preliminary clinical trial conducted at a hospital in Brazil was stopped when several people given high doses of chloroquine for COVID‑19 infection developed irregular heart rates, causing eleven deaths.

According to Johns Hopkins' ABX Guide for COVID‑19, "HCQ may cause prolonged QT, and caution should be used in critically ill COVID‑19 patients who may have cardiac dysfunction or if combined with other drugs that cause QT prolongation".


The truth is that Chloroquine, Hydroxychloroquine, Azithromycin, Losartan, Remdesivir and Kaletra does not cure covid-19..
We should learn to accept this.

But they can however be used to manage symptoms but it does not cure it...it also has adverse effects in some people and should not be used generally for all cases.

Please also note that many people have recovered without using those drugs
