Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State has recommended death for fake drug peddlers, describing their activities as evil.
He noted that there was no sense in sending them to jail.
The Governor made this known in his speech during the presentation ceremony of ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accreditation certificate.
The certificate was presented to the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, South-East zonal Laboratory at Agulu, Anambra State by the United States Pharmacopeia Convention.
The governor, who was represented by his deputy, Dr. Nkem Okeke, said the state was making efforts to partner the Federal Government to check the influx of fake drugs into the Onitsha Bridgehead market.
He said, “It’s the worst criminal act to humanity.
“Fake drug is the worst crime anybody can commit. There is no need jailing such people; they should be killed.
“To prevent the people of the state from falling prey to fake drug sellers, a health insurance scheme has being put in place to treat the people.”
