Speaking with newsmen shortly after the health exercise, the leader of the medical team, Dr. Elton Akpabio, who is also the representative of Amma4Africa-Nigeria, said the project targets the poor who could not afford the cost of medication, stressing that malaria and typhoid have devastated Africa causing millions of deaths.

“Amma4Africa-Nigeria is an NGO which is part of the universal Amma Resonance Healing Foundation. We have it in about 58 countries around the world. We offer free medical services to the poor of the poor and to those who could not afford medical bills.
“We reach out to the locals who are seriously affected, to those downtrodden in the society. We have seen mostly in Africa that malaria and typhoid are disease conditions that seem to have devastated the entire continent; millions are dying. Apart from World Health Organization statistics, you discover that malaria kills more than HIV/AIDS,” he said.
 Akpabio said the ARHF chairman, Mr. Peter Chapel, a Briton, had conducted a research from which he discovered a sort of medication using resonance platform for the treatment of malaria, typhoid and other infectious diseases. He said the medication is generated in a way that would not bring any adverse effect to patients irrespective of age, gender, race, or health condition.
He further said that the registration of volunteers in Amma4Africa is free of financial charges but stressed the situation whereby individuals would go about collecting money in the name of the group adding that “we are not part of it.”
He further thanked the Human Rights/Civil Society and Community-based organization, Akwa Ibom State for the support while praying that peace experienced in the state is sustained.
On his part, the Human Rights/Civil Society and Community-based organization in the state, Rev.Dr. Hilkiah Eliathar, who was in company of his deputy, Dr. Lawrence Usip, expressed satisfaction over the peaceful conduct of the free medical exercise saying the coalition is all out to defend peace and unity in Akwa Ibom State.
“We come here to see one of our groups AMA4Africa organizing free services, and the environment is so peaceful, so good, and no violence. We came and meet the crowd of people. Over 1000 people registered for the medication for the free services. What we even want to let them know is to continue to look for peace, sustain peace and then do what is needful in the general election that is coming in 2019,” he said.
Eliathar disclosed that the coalition has 25 amalgamated groups standing to defend peace and unity in the state.
 A member of The Apostolic Church, Okon Itam Assembly, Mr. Peter Johson, who also spoke with the press, expressed gratitude to the NGO for taking the humanitarian service to locality and specifically thanked Dr. Elton Akpabio for his passion to touch human lives in a positive way.
