It went viral recently via bbm broadcast that the Ministry of Health has asked everyone to bathe with salt and warm water and drink some of it so as to help avert the virus.
Here is the apology letter below;
My confession and apology
I am coming out clean because what started has a joke has escalated into the unprecedented.
How it started
playing a prank on our friends. The first suggestion was to tell people that aloe very could cure Ebola, but we thought it would sound too ridiculous so we forgot about it.
Later that even an idea came to me (i now regret that i did it).
I decided to send a BBM broadcast message to my friends, telling them that the Ministry of Health has asked everyone to bathe with salt and warm water and drink some of it.
Later this midnight i started getting calls and messages that i should drink salt water and bath with it.
I am using this medium to beg you all to warn and tell everyone, before they drink salt and damage their health.
