The NAFDAC’s South-South zonal director, Pharmacist Chukwuma Oligbu, who disclosed this while addressing journalists in Port Harcourt yesterday, said the fake healthcare givers were operating at the Abuloma Community Town Hall in Port Harcourt City local government area of the state.

Oligbu, who stated a woman was arrested at the venue while administering drugs to some unsuspecting residents, said unregistered products were also recovered.

He said: “The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has uncovered the activities of some unscrupulous elements posing as missionaries/free health care givers at Community Town Hall, Abuloma, Port Harcourt LGA.

“This discovery followed a tip-off by a public-spirited individual that some fake health caregivers using evangelism as a cover are giving unsuspecting members of the public fake/unregistered eye-drops, bottled water, cleansers and tablets, among others.

“The unregistered products include Evangelist Jenkins Supernatural Water, Evangelist Jenkins Cleanser, Evangelist Jenkins Eyedrop, etc. These products are purported to treat goitre, cancer, piles, arthritis, rashes, fibroids, cataracts, and glaucoma. The list is limitless.

“It was gathered that some persons that used the eye-drops got their eyes swollen while the fake doctor that is on the run will assure them that the swollen eye is a sign that the drug is working while assuring them that the impurities in their eyes will be washed out as mucus and liquid comes out of their eyes.”

 

The NAFDAC zonal director warned the general public to beware of unscrupulous elements claiming to be evangelists and selling concoctions in the name of medicines to unsuspecting members of the public.

 

He stated that the agency is working towards charging the arrested woman, who is in custody, in court and is also making moves to track down the fake doctor.
