Politics / Fake Charities Springing Up Over COVID-19 Donations, Magu Warns by NaijaTab: 6:29am On Apr 09, 2020
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has cautioned Nigerians against unsupported claims of fraudulent operators advertising cures and treatments of the dreaded Covid-19 pandemic. .
.
The Commission is also urging the public to be wary of fake charities springing up purporting to offer guidelines on donations to government and ordinary Nigerians in a bid to cope with the discomfort arising out of COVID- 19.
.
.
The Acting Executive Chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, added that there was need for patriotic Nigerians to be cautious of fake Covid-19 “ Do-it-yourself” tests and shun any fraudulent charities offering guidelines on donations to the public.
.
.
Magu particularly cautioned against use of unwanted mobile applications from untrusted sources and fake multilevel marketing schemes with mouth-watering returns online.
.
.
The EFCC boss said: “The FG has rolled out account details of accredited banks through which donations can be made. Please, note that any other guideline for donations is fraudulent and should be ignored.
.
.
“Besides, members of the public should be cautious of online investment involving various money-doubling schemes. We are tracking all those fraudulent operators.”
.
.
In a statement made available yesterday by the Acting Spokesperson of the EFCC, Tony Orilade, the EFCC boss also advised Nigerians against illegal “Robo Calls.”
.
.
According to him, such calls are meant to scam and steal the banking details of their victims. “Don’t press any number required by any illegal Robo Call.
.
.
The recording machine might require you to press a number for you to speak with an operator. This is fraudulent. Don’t press such a number”, he said.
.
.
The EFCC boss further wants Nigerians to exercise extreme cautions over the following measures: “Don’t click on links from any source that you don’t know. Doing so could download Malware onto your computer or device.
.
.
Don’t let anyone rush you into making a donation. Be alert and vigilant about online promotions and investment opportunities, especially on social media.”

Foreign Affairs / Trump Steps Up Attack On World Health Organization by NaijaTab: 2:35am On Apr 09, 2020
"They called it wrong," Trump said at a Tuesday press briefing. "They could have called it months earlier. They would have known, and they should have known. And they probably did know, so we'll be looking into that very carefully." Trump doubled down on the criticism Wednesday, saying the WHO "minimized the threat very strongly" and that his administration was reviewing funding to the organization.

The attacks come as Trump comes under criticism for his own response to the crisis, and fit a pattern in which the president has lashed out at other politicians and organizations to redirect blame.

Health / Cardiologist Warns Serious Side Effects Of Drug Touted As Coronavirus Treatment by NaijaTab: 1:54am On Apr 09, 2020
A cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic has spoken up about possible serious side effects of a drug that has been touted by President Trump as a possible treatment for coronavirus.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly touted the potential benefits of hydroxychloroquine, which has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat malaria, lupus and other autoimmune ailments but hasn't yet been proven effective and safe in treating the coronavirus.

"What do you have to lose?" Trump asked Saturday at the White House when pressed by reporters about hydroxychloroquine's effectiveness. And while he's suggested that patients consult with their physicians about the treatment, he's also said the drug can "help them, but it's not going to hurt them."

After observing the debate over hydroxychloroquine on TV news and in social media, Dr. Michael Ackerman, a genetic cardiologist who is director of the Mayo Clinic's Windland Smith Rice Genetic Heart Rhythm Clinic, took the unusual step in late March of issuing guidance for physicians.

While hydroxychloroquine is likely to be safe for 90 percent of the population, Ackerman said, it could pose serious and potentially lethal risks to a small number of those susceptible to heart conditions, especially those with other chronic medical problems already on multiple medications.

In fact, a small recent study showed that up to 11 percent of coronavirus patients on hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin are in the so-called "red zone" for potential cardiac side effects.

"They've entered the danger zone," Ackerman said. "That is not just my hunch that patients are going to be reacting to this drug — but they are reacting to this drug."
