Former Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has raised concerns over the safety of some oranges consumed in Nigeria, sharing how his wife allegedly developed frequent headaches after switching from Coca-Cola to fresh orange juice.
Osinbajo said his wife began experiencing the headaches a few months after making the switch.
According to him, she subsequently sent a fresh batch of the orange juice to a laboratory for testing, with the result allegedly showing that the oranges were not fit for human consumption.
“My wife started having frequent headaches a few months after she quit Coca-Cola for fresh orange juice. She sent a fresh batch of the orange juice to the lab for testing and the results revealed that the oranges were not fit for human consumption because of the dangerous chemicals the farmers had used to ripen and preserve them,” Osinbajo said.
The claim has sparked concern online, with social media users discussing the safety of fruits and other food products consumed by Nigerians.
