This online media platform on Friday learned that the Ministry of Tourism debunked the reports alleging that the Minister, Ade-John, was poisoned and rushed to the hospital.
The Assistant Director of Press in the Ministry, Emem Mariam Ofiong, debunked the claim, saying that the minister had malaria and had been treated and stabilized.
