Security operatives in Ondo state have arrested a fake drug manufacturer, operating in 13 states in Nigeria, under the name, Brother Paul Legacy Foundation.

The fake and counterfeit drug dealer was caught with concoctions which they claimed can cure all kinds of ailment such as cancer, low sperm count, diabetes, hypertension etc.

The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Health, Mrs Folukemi Aladenola, said he was arrested at the office which is, located at cultural area, in Ondo road, Akure, the state capital following a tip off.

She said: “The team got information that the organization was in town since June, treating all kinds of ailments at a price with the claim that they could treat all ailments such as cancer, low sperm count, diabetes, hypertension, hepatitis and barrenness and claimed to be registered with NAFDAC.

“The gesture of the government should prompt our people to access government health care facility but to our surprise, people still patronise these quacks and their prices range from N5000 to N10,000″.

” Instead of using this money to patronise quacks, you can get quality drugs at the government facilities in the state.

The era of out of stock syndrome is over, now our facilities now have enough drugs to cater for the health of the people at an affordable price. Now our facilities have been directed to get their drugs from this agency. If you don’t get drugs in these facilities, you can question this gap”.

She further advised people to always access healthcare from qualified personnel and accredited government and private facilities while also emphasizing that the organization would be handed over to the appropriate authority to be sanctioned.
