azimibraun: I hate 2 see an innocent person suffer unjustly.. Let the position of our law be knwn on this. Wt I think u shld b calling for is an interpretation of Nonso's role if its against our laws and wt is the penalty for his actions.. Eg if he ws negligient in selling controlled drugs without prescription, wt is the penalty. this is the position of the law; the guy is just whining, definitely, he wont be charged for murder, but his career is fu.c.ked The day ignarance becomes an acceptable defence under the law, thats the day I would start to havve mercy on him.. |

KDULAR: Gentlemen reAD AND BE INFORMED THAT UNDER THE LAW GUIDING PRESCRIPTIONS OF DRUGS. THE SAID DRUG IN QUESTION DOES NOT REQUIRE A PRESCRIPTION FROM A DOCTOR. THEREFORE, THE GUY HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING WRONG MY SOURCE THE DDA ( SCHEDULE 4 DRUGS UNDER THE DDA) . ANY PHARMACIST OR KNOWLEDGEABLE MEDICAL DOCTOR/ DENTIST OR PSYCHOLOGIST CAN CONFIRM OR DISPEL MY STATEMENT. I POSTED THIS EARLIER AND NOBODY IS YET TO TELL ME I'M WRONG. SO DON'T JUST PASS JUDGEMENT BASED ON EMOTIONS PEOPLE I wonder too oh. . .!!? I've been reading through from the first page and no one seemed to take note or responded to the info you passed - this should be the third or fourth time you're reiterating this now! It seems all folks do is read the headline or topic and get lost in the emotions of first impression! 1 Like |

2mch: And what about these other parts. . .funny how people just only see what they want to see and turn the blind eye to others! "I just started my pharmacy internship at 'Oxpharm', a pharmacy in Festac about two months ago. Last week Monday (20/08/12), I was doing my job when a middle aged man walked into the pharmacy and made complaints of persistent generalized body pains and difficulty with sleeping as a result of an accident he had some weeks back. The individual then specifically requested for the drug Rohypnol® (Flunitrazepam). I then asked for the Doctors prescription. The individual said he had none but begged that he really needs the drug to help his condition because all others did not give him relief. I still refused but after much begging and after profiling the individual as one who was not at risk to addiction to the drug, I sold the individual 1 satchet of drug and counselled him to see a doctor. After which I recorded the purchase of the drug in the Pharmacy's register. |

Let them get a good lawyer, those pharmacists ought not to be docked if you ask me - the pharmacist council ought to plead their case. |
Re: Nonso-Maduakor Wrongfully Charged For Cynthia's Murder by Nobody: 10:12am On Aug 30, 2012 |
though i do not know so much about the laws concerning drugs and so on And i really cant judge the guy But the fact is that the guy sold the drug to some people And he was caught in the act thus, labeled as the culprit. i sort of know where that pharmacy is located, cos i have bought lots of things there I bet you& i THINK they can track who received the payment, for the drugs that day &probably who gave them the drugs, on that day. they keep records,that i know. if it was done over the counter though& not backyard 'runs'. I suggest a good lawyer preferably keyamo,if possible should be hired. And your friend, his friend's and family, should get closer to God And start praying like say tomorrow no dey. If not your friend's future is bleak! I trust NIGERIANS idea of justice, especially when the victim's family is connected! Its bloody! |

IN AS MUCH AS I SYMPHATISE WITH THE PARMACIST IN QUESTION, I STILL BELIEVE HE HAS NO EXCUSE FOR SELLING THE UNPRESCRIBED DRUG (EVEN UNDER DURESS).SELLING OUT OF PITY IS NOT GOING TO BE A YARDSTICK AND THAT WOULD NEVER BE ACCEPTED AS AN EXCUSE. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THAT OXPHARM PHARMACY WAS WHERE THE KILLERS GOT THE DRUGS THEY USED ON THEIR VICTIM AND THAT’S WHERE NONSO IS UNDERGOING HIS INTERSHIP (THAT REALLY SPEAKS VOLUME). ALL I CAN SAY IS; HE SHOULDN’T BE CHARGED FOR THE SAME OFFENCE, BUT SURELY HE WOULD BE JAILED (LONG TERM SENTENCE). |

Okija_juju: I totally support your point. In as much as the way they are going about it is just. Plain victimisation, but health care professionals should be lot more careful in handling these drugs knowing any mistake can take a person's life. Go the extra mile in proper counselling before you dispense such drugs. 2 healthy young men should have absolutely NO need for such drug. Am not here to put blame on the young man but to plead to all pharmacist. Please wake up to your responsibilities as. Drug custodians, we say in Nigeria anything goes, but it doesn't have to be that way if the regulatory bodies do their jobs well. if there is any bad effect of a drug its on the pharmacist. Even if there's a prescription its still your job. To thoroughly scrutinise it and if for some reason you feel its not necessary please do not dispense. So many people are dying everyday from the nonchalant attitude these people have to their responsibilities as pharmacist. Its really bad.... |

RuuDie: don't join that misinformed guy, the drug is not on DDA listing, nevertheless, it is boldly written on the bottle and NAFDAC has made a pronouncement on that drug in the past, i ve forgotten. |
Re: Nonso-Maduakor Wrongfully Charged For Cynthia's Murder by sinie: 11:52am On Aug 30, 2012 |
KDULAR:Flunitrazepam is a benzodiazepine. It IS a controlled drug and should NOT be dispensed without a prescription. And drug that has a potential for addiction is a controlled. Which means you don't just dispense without prescription. Even some antibiotics. Like "ordinary" ciprofloxacin should NOT be sold without prescription. Just cos here in nigeria anything goes does not make it right. In cases like dis where there's trouble you can't defend yourself cos u did NT do the right thing. Of cos been an intern. Makes it worse. As a registered pharmacist he might have been able to use his own initiative and WRITE a prescription for the drug. Still just dispensing 10 tabs @ once. HABA. But the fact is both he and the pharmacist he's working under will be held liable. but the punishment is a bit extreme, its the council that will sanction them and if the family should sue for wrongful death or negligence they have a case. But its not a criminal offence. Please let's correct this impression. These drugs ARE controlled and should be sold with prescription ONLY. Just cos u can walk into any pharm and buy diazepam does not make it right. |

@ babalegba,ur name sounds as disgusting as your comment!and please pray hard in wateva u do God should not let u find urself in such a position of being guilty until proven innocent.for goodness sake why sould a pharmasist be paraded alongside two muderers.He has broken the law quite alright so he should be stripped of whatever makes him a pharmarcist and allowed to go.simple!!Unless there is proof he has been their constant supplier in the past. |

http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/index.php/news/175680-pharmacist-not-responsible-for-cynthias-death The truth is out!!!! All of you resident in Nigeria and wishing the young man to be jailed, tell me u have never bought drugs from a chemist/pharmacy which requires a prescription without one? Antibiotics and some NSAIDS ( pain-killers) requires Prescription and these are bought on daily basis. you as a patient will be so angry In Nigeria if refused to be sold drugs to.. So common, lets be realistic this intern Pharmacist was just unlucky. If for anything, he shouldn't be held liable as he is just an INTERN undergoing training and mistakes are part of the training process. How about the owner of the pharmacy? why wasn't he apprehended? It was earlier said that because Nonso's parents refused to pay 2 million Naira bribe to the police, they decided to make him pass through this ordeal. 2 Likes |

1. Nonso is guilty for selling a control drug without doctors prescription. 2. It is likely that Cynthia's murderers may have told police that they do buy from Nonso sometimes, because I don't think police just woke up one morning and decide to rope Nonso into the matter. |

^thank you. if it were random like people are making it seem here, they'd have at least 20 people being detained right now. given the way the suspects are singing like birds, its possible they said the drug used on cynthia was obtained from that pharmacy. |

miky: Doesn't matter,, as far as he gave in to something he shouldn't have.. If he was trying to help he could have driven the guy to a hospital to go get prescription... Here in the USA the police lure child sex offenders through Internet, only to charge them later and imprison them..I was reading ur post and I realised u said u r based in America,if u r based in Nigeria u will know what drug abuse and extreme self medication is all about,am a Pharmacist and I can imagine d scenario played out there, no matter our much u try to be professional enough it is either d patient coming in with an old prescription or begging u and tearing u down with plea just to get a 'sleep' tablet. Until d culture of our health system is totally overhaul ds situation could ve HAPPENED TO ANY PHARMACIST IN NIGERIA;I pray he gets out of it becos I knw ao professiona ds guy is |

I pray and hope this will take the health sector in the country to a whole new dimension-but not with an innocent scapegoat- The level of self medication in d country is so extreme,it was unfortunate that this drug was bought 4rm a registered Pharmacy becos I knw that lots of patent medicine stores keeps ds types of medications on their shelves when dey r meant to handle only OTC products. |

bikokwe: http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/index.php/news/175680-pharmacist-not-responsible-for-cynthias-death The truth is out!!!!Its painful when people talk about what they don't really understand. The drug in Question is not ciproflox or diazepam(our valium). IT IS Flunitrazepam........a drug that is considered as a date rape drug in local parlance and you're comparing that to aspirin. Nobody wants him jailed but don't paint a saint. He suy dint start well and the fact that he sold the drug still calls for disciplinary action. Kdular has been spewing tra** & I dint think he's worth replying. Cocaine has a medical use but selling it to someone without prescription doesn't make it a less offence. Mistake is when he counted the wrong amount of drugs.....selling it is not a mistake. That's an informed decision |
Re: Nonso-Maduakor Wrongfully Charged For Cynthia's Murder by coogar: 3:55pm On Aug 30, 2012 |
APII:no one has argued he wasn't guilty of selling a controlled drug - although i would get the same controlled drug in every state capital in nigeria without producing a doctor's prescription note!
if they told the police they do get the drugs from nonso, then it would have been a straight arrest! they wouldn't need to send an old man to nonso to pretend he needed the drug to cure his stomach pain! the nigerian police i know are shoddy and thoughtless - they just assumed the pharmacy where the drug was bought must be in the same vicinity of the crime scene! i am not convinced the police know where the drug was bought!!!! 1 Like |
