The Pharmacists Council of Nigeria, PCN, on Thursday, announced that it has sealed a total of 391 pharmacies and patent medicine stores within the last one week in Enugu.
DAILY POST reports that this was disclosed by the Registrar of the Council, Pharm. Elijah Mohammed during a press briefing in Enugu, addressed on his behalf by the Council’s Director of Enforcement, Pharm. Stephen Esumobi.
He told journalists that the exercise was carried out by the Pharmaceutical Inspection Committees, PICs, which has been in Enugu State since the beginning of the week.
He lamented that “the motive behind the operations of most of these illegal medicine shops is profit. This has created room unhealthy acts such as the sale of substances of abuse to criminal elements in the society who carry out their nefarious activities under the influence of drugs.”
