UNIBEN Authorities Denounce Professor Isaiah Ibeh’s Alleged Cure to HIV/AIDS!
Prof Ibeh |
Authorities of the University of Benin (UNIBEN), have disowned the Dean
of School of Basic Medical Sciences of the University, Prof. Isaiah
Ibeh, who claimed to have invented a possible cure for the dreaded
HIV/AIDS.
Prof. Ibeh had on Tuesday announced the breakthrough in an interview
with News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, in Benin, capital of Edo State.
“We are at threshold of making history in the sense that we seem to have
with us something that will permanently take care of what overtime
seems to have defied all solutions.
“We are talking about the latest discovery of an oral drug made from
plant extraction in Nigeria for the possible cure of the pandemic, HIV
and AIDS virus,” Prof Ibeh had said in the interview.
But reacting to enquiries from journalists in his office, the Provost,
College of Medical Sciences of UNIBEN, Prof. Vincent Iyawe, said the
university has not endorsed the claims of Prof. Ibeh for now because the
institution was not “carried along” in the research.
“The school would like to take credit for a breakthrough, but the school
cannot align with the breakthrough because the college was not
consulted, the university was not consulted, he did not carry anybody
along.
“There are protocols and procedures. Going from stage to stage, we give
it clinical trials which will take it to the Federal Ministry of Health
to do clinical trial and many other things involved. We will equally
have to take it to NAFDAC, and many other things have to be done before
you come out with your claims, and even take it to the World Health
Organization,” Prof. Iyawe said.
According to the College Provost, all the university was doing was to protect Prof. Ibeh and the integrity of UNIBEN.
When asked for comment on his next line of action, the inventor of the
alleged HIV/AIDS cure, Prof. Ibeh declined, adding, “I will naturally
maintain a studied silence.”
