Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has revealed that her husband captain Ekeinde is the pilot that flew the Chinese doctors from Nigeria back to China.

Recall that the Chinese doctors arrived in Nigeria weeks ago and were said to be in the country to help in the fight against COVID-19.

A few weeks later, the Minister of Health, Ehanire Osagie revealed that the Chinese doctors were not really Nigeria's guests and that their whereabouts was unknown to him.

"I want to explain that first of all, I think not all of them are doctors and I heard that some of them are technicians but they are staff of CCECC.

"The ministry of health is not their host, so we cannot always explain what happened to them or where they are," he said.

The Chinese doctors have now returned to China and Omotola's husband was the pilot of the aircraft that flew them home.

Omotola wrote: "Is this the New Normal? #TheCaptain went on his first Flight today in 2 months! Those are the Chinese ppl that flew in some time ago leaving! Not sure how to feel".
