It's not my law but how the laws of Nigeria works. It's called collective responsibility.

If you want to be fair, you should be calling for the prosecution of those caught selling fake and expired drugs which has led to the death toll of thousands people.
Most of you let tribal hate cloud your judgment.

Don't worry, before this week ends, the police will raid your street and arrest you for not reporting those guys smoking weed in your area.

Fuulish guy..

If you are not Yoruba i don't how any sensible being would comit this non sense. How can you fine all the trader because of one or two persons offence?

Good one from NAFDAC. I think VDM really wanted NAFDAC to perpetually close these shops. If they have to charge them court according to VDM, a lot of Anambra business men will go to jail for it.

NAFDAC applied the principle of collective responsibility to impose a fine on every trader in the market.

They're all collective responsible for what goes on in the market..
NAFDAC could have fined the entire market so that their union will pay it rather than asking individual marketers to pay 700k each.......so much corruption in Nigeria yet everyone is above board.

NAFDAC doesn't recognize Unions but individual traders.

During my university days, we were all forced to pay restitution for damages to school falicities that occurred during students rioting.

Nobody was exempted. Even those who were not around during the mayhem where asked to pay. The student Union wasn't asked to pay on our behalf from levies we paid to them.

It's the same principle NAFDAC has applied here:The principle of collective responsibility.

And I can tell you this, everyone single trader in that market is aware of what goes on in there. I know, because I live in Asaba which one can say is just a stone throw from Onitsha.

Everyone of them is guilty directly or indirectly, and should pay for the consequences of their action and inaction. Go to Asaba and ask any adult about that particular market and hear the shocking things they will reveal about what goes on in there.

It's a centre for the sales of adulterated pharmaceuticals products.

The worst part is that they keep reclying expired drugs by changing the original expiring date so they can sell it to unsuspecting members of the public

The fine is not enough. Everyone found selling fake and expired drugs should be prosecuted and jailed and barred from ever selling kind of pharmaceutical products.

The fine is a compromise by NAFDAC.

I'm not who you think. I'm from Delta state and live in Asaba.

Everyone in that market knows what goes on in there. It's big business ,with others who don't sell fake and expired drugs themselves enabling it by soliciting for customers for those in the illicit trade. FYI, other tribes are in that same market, Yorubas and Hausas etc, but because you are a tribal bigot you think everyone think like you that it's Ibos business or a market for them alone

Dora Akunliyi battled them and they almost assassinated her , and after she left NAFDAC, it became business as usual for them, untill now, when the government has decided to do something to save lives of unsuspecting Nigerians who consume those fake thinking it's genuine . But wicked and heartless people like you are not happy.

And it's very silly of you to compare that market where everyone there knows what others are doing to destroy lives to a neighborhood where one or two persons are selling weeds or smoking it without much of the residents knowing about it.

Even if they know, smoking weed is personal business. You are personally responsible for what you consume, but for the market they are operating it together as members of the same market Union which they all belong to.

So , please use your head.

I paid restitution too but it's not the same thing. I agree that every single marketer found to deal on fake drugs should be prosecuted....I however disagree that everyone should pay the fine.
