Another document issued by the Dubai Health Authority via the AMC Family Medicine DXB Concourse B certified by the facility managing director, Mr. Bisher Josef Alazzam noted that “the patient is vitally stable; there is no obvious medical contra-indication for travel at the time of discharge.”
The result was dated March 11, 2021.
Fehintola travelled on Emirates airlines to Nigeria via Dubai.
The result also indicated that the issue addressed was “abnormal behavior.”
It was learnt when Oladapo visited Ibadan on Tuesday, March 16 to locate the address, No 2 Agisope, Mushin in the Oyo state capital as indicated in Fehintola’s data provided by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), no such place was found.
Meanwhile, Oladapo has appealed to members of the public to help locate Fehintola’s family.
According to Oladapo, Fehintola currently stays on the concrete walkway and sleeps in any of the uncompleted building at the airport at night.
However, immigration officials at the airport denied that Fehintola was a deportee.
They said all deportee cases are handed over to the NIS office by the airlines while the passports of such persons are usually withheld pending their profiling and subsequent reunion with their families.
