Obiano also described the sale of fake drugs as “the worst criminal act to humanity.”

The governor made the comments on Monday, January 23, during an accreditation ceremony in the Agulu area of the state.

“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,” he said according to Punch.

Obiano also said that the state was working with the Federal Government to check the entry of fake drugs into the Onitsha Bridgehead market.
