Osinbajo Warns of Unsafe Fruit Chemicals After Wife’s Orange Juice Test

Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says his wife, Dolapo, discovered that the freshly squeezed orange juice she drank regularly was not fit for human consumption after laboratory testing. Speaking at a gardeners’ seminar in Lagos on August 28, 2026, Osinbajo said she had experienced recurring headaches despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle. He said the test result prompted concerns about chemicals allegedly used to ripen or preserve fruits and vegetables. He urged stronger food-safety enforcement and advised consumers to wash produce thoroughly, ask questions about what they buy and report suspicious practices. He also called on farmers and traders to adopt safer methods.
