I support the dayt paynatee for dlug peydras. In Igbo tone

I fully agree with this!

They should include fake drinks factories.
Nigerians only knows strict language & be treated as cow before they obey.

Am In full support, please nafdac help us propose death penalty for people that sell colos, ice, fentanyl.

And please help us to declassify weed cannabis sativa has a hard drug, classify weed to the category of cigarettes and tobacco.

Kidnappers also deserves death penalty

This what NDLEA and EFCC should have proposed since but the idiots won't because everyone is corrupt. Lawmakers won't pass it as law, even if they do, the president won't assent his signature....why? They are all partners in crime. From too to bottom.....President to the NASS.

They all take drugs, they are also super corrupt.

very good. Fake drugs from Eastern Afrika

I'm 100% in support!

It is long overdue

RealGandalf:
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has called for the death penalty for individuals involved in drug peddling, especially those responsible for producing and selling fake or substandard medicines.

The Director-General of NAFDAC, Mojisola Adeyeye, made this demand on Friday while speaking on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief. She argued that only severe punishments would deter offenders, particularly when their actions lead to fatalities, especially among children.

Fake Drugs Are Silent Killers

Adeyeye recounted an incident where a children’s medicine was sold at N13,000 by one vendor but at N3,000 by another. When the cheaper version was tested at NAFDAC’s Kaduna laboratory, it was found to contain no active ingredients.

Expressing her frustration, she declared:



Weak Penalties Encouraging Drug Crimes

The NAFDAC boss also criticized lenient punishments for drug-related offenses. She cited an example where a trafficker was caught with 225mg of Tramadol, a dose capable of causing death or brain damage, yet only faced a five-year prison sentence or a fine of N250,000.

She argued that such mild penalties are ineffective deterrents, as offenders can easily afford the fines.

“Who doesn’t know that a person can simply withdraw N250,000 from an ATM? That is part of our problem — there are no strict measures to stop offenders from repeating the same crime,” she lamented.

NAFDAC Seeks Legislative and Judicial Backing

Adeyeye stressed that the fight against substandard and falsified medicines requires the cooperation of the judiciary and the National Assembly. She revealed that NAFDAC is currently working with lawmakers to push for stricter laws and stiffer penalties for offenders.

“If our laws are not strong enough or the judiciary is not firm in its stance, we will continue to face this challenge. If you kill a child with bad medicine, you deserve to die.”

The proposal has sparked debates on the appropriate punishment for drug peddlers, with some supporting harsh penalties to curb the menace, while others argue for reform-based approaches.

Thanks madam, any one that killed through any means the person deserve to be kill too, i have said this for a long time that, not only those that cut human head are the only rituals in the land, there is a lot of rituals through other means, e,g fake drugs, work no pay, kidnapping and collection of ransom and still kill, petrol tankers that in bad conditions are yet still allowed to load at depot or refineries and etc. they are are deserve to be persecuted according to the law.

SEconded.

NDLEA should follow too.

Another Biafra Genocide loading. All Igbo businessmen will be killed ooo.

If you know, you know.

Most are into the importation of Tramadol and Codeine.

They have finished me with fake Amoxicillin. Firing squad please. Ensure it is televised. Enough of this Nonsense. We need to set the records straight.

Mohisah:
They should include fake drinks factories.
Nigerians only knows strict language & be treated as cow before they obey.

Fake plastic coke and fanta is common now

That tribe will finish, land will be void😮

Evaloyal2J:
Yes death penalty will severe the actions of these fake drug peddlers because they don't don't joke with their own lives, at least they value their lives. and this will inturn move the genuine producers to sit up and align with standard practices. it's a good development for your bloodas. Now you should worry about your enemies right center and Infront of you mining skulls like no other and selling human part for paltry 5k in Ogun oshun, Oyo and Lagos. You aren't even safe in your neighborhood.

It would have made sense if you shed this tears for people killing innocent kids with fake medicines and drugs while also depleting the adult population with their cannibalistic acts.

Melagros:
COMRADES, I am in full support of this proposal, only a wicked human being will think otherwise

This moment you have sense. The next moment , the sense disappears.

Kpele!

Is there penalty for corrupt government officials? What about penalty for the death of good citizens due to insecurity hunger and hardship.

The production and sale of fake or substandard drugs is a serious issue. Nevertheless, death penalty is not the solution.
What is required is effective prosecution.
If five years in correctional custody or N250,000 fine is too lenient, then it can be increased to a maximum of seven or fourteen years, or an unlimited fine, or both.

China executes corrupt politicians and give drug dealers life sentence why not propose same.

Right step in the right direction. Death sentence should also be proposed for stealing public funds.
