The Director-General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Mojisola Adeyeye, has reiterated the call for stiffer penalties for fake drug peddlers.

In a statement issued yesterday, Ms Adeyeye said fake drug peddlers are merchants of death who prioritise making huge money at the expense of other people’s lives.

She, however, called for the introduction of the death penalty for drug peddlers, especially those whose actions result in the death of children.

The NAFDAC boss emphasised that only severe penalties would effectively deter drug peddlers, especially those selling harmful, substandard medication.
