Sabah High Court fines Albert and mineral company ex-CEO RM100k each for contempt
Court finds duo breached ex-parte and ad interim orders issued earlier.
In a recent ruling, a Federal High Court in Lagos convicted and fined a trader, Elijah Chigbogu, and two companies associated with him, Prolife & Well Pharmaceutical Limited and God of Elijah Nigeria Limited, over allegations of unlawful possession, importation, and distribution of counterfeit and unregistered drugs. The court heard four counts against the defendants, which they admitted to pleading guilty to.
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) initiated the proceedings against the defendants after they were found in possession of fake and unregistered pharmaceutical products at their premises in Lagos on July 28, 2025. The products allegedly recovered from the defendants included various medications such as Zanza Cyproheptadine, Calpol 200ml Suspension, and Zirtek Allergy Relief.
Chigbogu was fined N1.5m, following a plea bargain agreement between the defendants and the prosecution.
