The Lagos Police Command has uncovered a syndicate which specializes in the manufacture of fake drugs.
Four suspects have so far been arrested and they are helping the police with their investigations.
The suspects seen here at the site of their production in the Ikotun area of Lagos are Emeka Madu, Eze Young, Chijioke Umunna and Kingsley Obilo.
Everyday many die in Nigeria due to the activities of fake drugs manufacturers and retailers. Late Professor Dora Akunyili during her stint as Director General of National Agency for Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) had tried creditably to sanitize the pharmaceutical sector and rid it of such dangerous practices. This earned her both accolades and threats to her life.
Are we now back to the old days? The public should be careful and purchase drugs only from reputable and licensed pharmacies.
