NAFDAC APPREHENDS AND ARRAIGNS FALSIFIED MEDICINE MANUFACTURERS IN KANO HIGH COURT


Today, NAFDAC arraigned three individuals and Giddyson Healthcare Limited before the Federal High Court, Kano, on a five-count charge for manufacturing, distributing, and selling substandard and falsified medicines. The defendants, Mr. Amao Gideon, Alumona Godwin Okwiludili, and Hillary Onah Paul Chigozie, were involved in producing counterfeit medicines with zero active ingredients.


The falsified medicines include:


• Asian Ampicillin 125mg + Cloxacillin 125mg/5ml powder for oral suspension for children.


• Asian Ampicillin 125mg/5ml powder for suspension for children.


• Erythromycin 125mg/5ml powder for suspension for children.


• Artil-Go (Artemether 20mg + Lumefantrine 120mg/5ml) suspension for children.


Laboratory tests from NAFDAC Kaduna revealed that these products contained no active medicinal ingredients, posing severe risks such as treatment failure and potential death. Furthermore, these products were unregistered with fake numbers and addresses. The illegal factory in Tafa, Niger State, has been sealed following a discreet investigation.


NAFDAC reiterates its zero-tolerance stance on substandard and falsified medicines. The agency urges all Nigerians to report any suspicious activities to help eradicate this menace from our society. Together, we can protect the health and safety of all citizens.


Prof. Mojisola Christianah Adeyeye, FAS Director-General/CEO
