Speaking during the launch of a coronavirus ‘ free house’ in Lagos, Akinterinwa, who is a pioneer member and a trustee of the Nigeria- Chinese Friendship Association, said people now use the technology instead of wearing face masks.

“Wehavethisproductbygree. It manufactured a machine that can kill all viruses particularly coronavirus. In this case, when you have a machine that can kill a virus then why shouldn’t any government particularly in Africa take an interest in this machine, especially at this time we are told that this is what people use in China instead of putting on face masks. Since viruses are air borne, the machine is tailored to kill the viruses in the air.”

According to him, anybody “who wants to be free from viruses ought to be interested in this kind of association and then begin to live a new life.”

Speaking about the water purifier that was also unveiled by the firm, he said: “I have much interest in this as well, because quality of life begins with quality water. We need a very good oxygenated water to survive. You need an oxygenated environment to survive.”
