The speaker claimed to have intel from information provided directed to the World Health Organisation by the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC). CLAIM: SPEAKER HAS LINKS WITH WHOVERDICT: The speaker further said he volunteered with the United Nations and has access to data from the World Health Organisation where he is looking to join. Data provided by the World Health Organisation, however, contradicts this claim.
