She asked the Senate to determine whether or not Nigeria is currently connected to the technology.

 

Ekwunife said: “The concern by some scientists and medical experts that the emission from the 5G towers could adversely affect health of citizens by causing symptoms like damage to eyes, antibiotic resistance and other phycological effects on the nervous and immune system.”

 

In his contribution, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele backed the motion and the need for the Senate to urgently investigate the matter.
