...IPOB Lawyer Demands Probe By Security Operatives

Onitsha-based trader had been hospitalised following the reported looting of her medicine store by officials of the National Agency for Foods and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC).

The looting as contained in a viral footage, has attracted wild condemnation.

Consequently, a lawyer and human rights activist, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has demanded an investigation by security into the act perpetrated by NAFDAC officials.

As at the time of this report, NAFDAC is said to be preparing its response to the allegation.

While describing the heart-wrenching testimony of the devastated trader as both troubling and unacceptable, he said the woman is currently receiving medical attention at an undisclosed hospital after suffering severe shock from the traumatic incident.

Ejiofor, also a lawyer to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), in a statement said it is not just an economic assault but a direct attack on her dignity and well-being.

He said, "I am deeply saddened by the viral video showing a female trader alleging that her shop was looted by officials of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC). This alarming footage exposes a grave injustice that demands urgent action.

"Recently, I strongly condemned the indiscriminate closure of shops under the guise of combating counterfeit drugs. While the fight against fake pharmaceuticals is crucial, it must be carried out through lawful and ethical means that do not jeopardize the livelihoods of innocent traders. Unfortunately, our worst fears have now materialized.

"In my previous public statement, I urged security agencies and NAFDAC to investigate their personnel implicated in these allegations. However, despite the gravity of the situation, no action has been taken.

"This latest evidence - captured on video - clearly exposes officials entrusted with regulatory enforcement, allegedly engaging in outright looting, betraying public trust.

"The heart-wrenching testimony of this devastated trader is both troubling and unacceptable. Disturbingly, information available to us confirms that this innocent woman is currently receiving medical care at an undisclosed hospital after suffering severe shock from this traumatic incident. This is not just an economic assault but a direct attack on her dignity and well-being.

'I, therefore, call upon the relevant security agencies to conduct a swift, transparent, and comprehensive investigation to identify and hold accountable those responsible for this reprehensible act.

"NAFDAC must urgently assess and provide commensurate reparations for this devastating loss, ensuring that justice is not only served but also felt by the victims. Justice delayed is justice denied. Immediate disciplinary and legal measures must be enforced to restore public confidence in our institutions.

"Such misconduct has no place in a society striving for justice, peace, and economic stability. The livelihoods of hardworking citizens must be protected, and those who abuse their positions of trust must face the full weight of the law. If we fail to act decisively, we risk enabling a culture of impunity that will only deepen public distrust in our institutions."

I knew it, those nafdac officials are just criminals pretending to be protecting the masses.

What has boutique got to do with drugs?

The woman should die and rot in hell! That should be her karma for all the people she killed with fake drugs!

I'm Igbo and completely disappointed with fellow Igbos who are supporting these merchants of death called open market drug dealers!

There are laws guiding pharmacy businesses in Nigeria but because of their evil motives, these open market dealers would not want to do the right thing by coming out from the unhygienic open market environment to register and do proper pharmaceutical business in environments where regulations can be easily done. If they don't have ulterior motives, let them come out of bridgehead market and get approval from PCN to run wholesale or retail pharmacy the way the law specifies!

But no! They want remain in unhygienic environment and would also not want to be regulated so they can be selling fake and unwholesome drugs to Nigerians!

Shame on those of you Ignorant Igbos supporting these criminal drug traders! The worst is that some of you claim you're educated but imagine supporting those killing you and your generations! Even if pharmacy is not your course of study in school, why not ask questions before supporting rubbish and making a fool out of yourselves??!!

To hell with you, Ejiofor or whatever the stupid lawyer calls himself!

Pharmaceutical business is not like spare parts business! There are minimum standards required! Anybody cannot just enter market and start selling rubbish and when the regulatory agencies come to enforce laws they start talking trash about "source of livelihood"! You can't be killing people with fake drugs and still talk about your own livelihood!

The opinions of some people in the latest NAFDAC enforcement exercises(eg, the Lawyer) is the reason why people should desist from talking on matters they know next to nothing about! Barr Ejiofor is just a lawyer and doesn't understand the gravity of this fake drugs problem and here he's talking about "source of livelihood" of the trader without considering the livelihood of those who must have died or suffered severe losses due to her activities!
