•SAYS THEY’RE MERCHANTS OF DEATH 

DIRECTOR GENERAL OF THE NATIONAL AGENCY FOR FOOD AND DRUG ADMNISTRATION CONTROL (NAFDAC), PROFESSOR MOJISOLA ADEYEYE, HAS CALLED FOR A DEATH PENALTY FOR CONVICTED DEALERS IN FAKE PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS

ACCORDING TO HER, THE CURRENT FIVE YEAR JAIL TERM OR N250,000 FINE ARE GROSSLY INADEQUATE TO STOP THE PRATICE

ADEYEYE SPEAKING ON A TELEVISION PROGRAMME, DESCRIBED FAKE DRUG PEDDLARS AS MERCHANTS OF DEATH, WHO GIVE PRIORITY TO PROFITS THAN HUMAN LIVES

TO AVOID WRONG CONVICTION, SHE SAID SUSPECTED FAKE DRUG WOULD BE SUBJECTED TO VIGOROUS LABORATORY TESTS WITHIN NAFDAC AND OUTSIDE THE AGENCY

MEANWHILE, THE AGENCY HAS SEIZED A LARGE QUANTITY OF SUBSTANDARD, ADULTERATED AND EXPIRED DRUGS AT A MAJOR DRUG MARKET AT THE NIGER BRIDGE HEAD, ONITSHA

SEIZED DRUGS, ACCORDING TO NDLEA, INCLUDE ANTI-HYPERTENSIVE, ANTI-BIOTICS, ANTI- ASTHMATIC, APHRODIASIAC, ANTI-MALARIA, ANTI-INFLAMATORY, HERBAL REMEDIES AND PSYCHOATIC DRUGS
