The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control,
NAFDAC, yesterday said it will arrest and prosecute a Nigerian Professor
of Ophthalmology at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, for
what it described as unverified cure claim for Ebola Virus Disease, EVD,
using native vegetable, Ewedu.
Meanwhile, the Agency has
quarantined over 104 brands of sanitisers even as it arrested three
Nigerian businessmen for alleged importation of expired hand sanitizers
and fake Ebola test kits into the country.
Making these
revelations in Lagos, the Director General of NAFDAC, Dr. Paul Orhii
said the various pronouncements by some medical and pharmaceutical
professors at these precarious times in the history of the country were
more dangerous.
