Despite the widely circulated news of the reopening of the Onitsha drug market early last week, a rights group, International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety) has said that the market has remained shut.
The group lamented that despite claims by National Agency for Food Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), of reopening the market, the market has remained shut and also heavily policed by armed military men numbering over a dozen.
In a press statement by the group, which was signed by the board of trustees chairman, Mr Emeka Umeagbalasi and other key members of the group, it accused NAFDAC of coming to equity with unclean hands.
The group condemned the misinformation, saying the false claims not only add to the long list of NAFDAC’s operational illegalities in the Onitsha Drug Market and six other adjoining others, but also exposes the Agency as having failed woefully to go to equity with clean hands.
