AS controversy continues to trail the alleged discovery of a drug for the cure of HIV/AIDS by the Dean of School of Basic Medical Sciences of the University of Benin, Prof. Isaiah Ibeh, the authorities of the institution, yesterday, in Benin, faulted the dean’s claims.

FORMER State Security Service, SSS chief and security consultant, Barr. Mike Ejiofor, saw the summit as a good development which would help policing in Nigeria because it provided a platform where different people came with different presentations for Nigeria to have a secured country. While urging other security agencies to key into the initiative, Ejiofor hoped that the forum would lead to transformation of the country via police force.

The common thread from stakeholders in the security services, including former Inspector-General of Police, Gambo Jimeta, at the opening of the Vanguard/Police National Security Summit in Abuja, yesterday, was that the state of insecurity in the country was self-inflicted.

FORMER President Olusegun Obasanjo, yesterday, said more could be done to reach out to the militant Islamist group Boko Haram to find out what leads it to carry out acts of violence.

Prof. Isaiah Ibeh of the University of Benin, on Tuesday announced the development of a new drug that can allegedly ‘cure’ HIV and AIDS. Ibeh, who is the Dean of the School of Basic Medical Sciences of the university, told reporters in Benin that the herbal drug had undergone “series of successful tests”.
