Another don and the first female professor of Pharmacy at the University of Ibadan and Vice-Chancellor, Chrisland University, Abeokuta, Prof. Chinedum Babalola, called for investigation and research into claims on Anthrax towards making findings verifiable and sustainable.

They stated these in separate interviews with The Guardian in Ibadan.
