The Pharmacy Council of Nigeria has sealed 618 premises, including 178 pharmacies and 317 illegal medicine shops, in Rivers and Bayelsa States for regulatory violations.

Five individuals were arrested during the week-long enforcement. Offences included unregistered operations, clinical practice without approval, and unauthorized access to controlled drugs. The PCN urged the public to patronize only licensed outlets.

Benue State Government says at least 107 Yelwata victims were still receiving treatment at the Benue State Teaching Hospital in Makurdi.

The Permanent Secretary of the State Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, James Iorpuu, said this during a news briefing in Makurdi on Tuesday.

Ekwutosblog reports that suspected bandits attacked and killed over 200 people in Yelwata community on June 13.

Iorpuu, who doubles as the Executive Secretary, Benue State Emergency Management Agency, SEMA, disclosed that the state had witnessed sustained, coordinated fatal attacks since 2011 by bandits.

“What happened in Yelwata had not happened anywhere in the world, should never happen again to any community,” he said.

Because I have confidence in the standard  of healthcare our government is providing in Umuahia South and Abia in general, I went to one of our health centers for treatment. 

Test was done free and drugs were given free.

The new Abia is here.

Dr Alex Otti,  we proud of you.
