A UK based Nigerian Medical Doctor, Harvey Olufunmilayo has warned Nigerians against the use of urine as treatment for any medical conditions.

Dr Olufunmilayo gave the advise on Monday in a tweet on his verified and official twitter account, saying that no medical evidence exist to support urine medical efficacy.
