In this investigation, The ICIR reveals how herbal doctors in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT Abuja scam cancer patients to buy drugs for a disease that yet has no cure.

HERBAL doctors in Abuja contradict the views of the World Health Organisation, WHO reports on its website that says cancer has no cure yet. The herbalists claim in their frequent advertisements that they proffer a cure for cancer, though without documented evidence to substantiate this claim.

Posing as a client, seeking help for a non-existent aunt diagnosed with breast cancer, The ICIR reporter visited three major herbal clinics within Abuja metropolis to investigate their operations and treatment methods and the position of herbal medicine regulatory agencies on the practices of herbal doctors.

Exposing the deceit of Abuja herbal medics that “cures” cancer

Arriving at the supposed location of Halamin Herbal centre in Karu, Abuja at exactly 2:37 pm on Friday, 18 January, The ICIR reporter couldn’t recognise the building from the address the herbal practitioner who identified himself as Timothy gave.

The inscription on the wall of the building reads “Trump – Hills Investment Int’l Ltd” which was different from the business name that appeared on its website that portrayed it as a herbal clinic.

The ICIR searched for the company name, “Trump – Hills Investment Int’l Ltd” which eventually turned out to be a real estate company based in Abuja that acts as an agent for prospective house buyers.

After waiting for about thirty minutes, Timothy, arrived apologising for coming late and welcomed The ICIR reporter with an all-too-familiar gesture, “How long have you been here? Welcome my brother, I’m sorry my car was bad and the mechanic took a long time fixing it,’’ he said.

His office was a two-room sparsely -furnished apartment, comprising of tables, chairs, and shelves showing a scanty office space that could be vacated in a hurry.

“So what are the issues,” Timothy asked, almost with the genuine curiosity of an expert.

Direct from the Horse’s mouth

The ICIR reporter gave a long talk about his relative who did not exist, diagnosed with breast cancer and has decided to try herbal medicines due to financial constraint and the fear of the effect of chemotherapy.

First, Timothy made inquiries about the name, age and phone number of the cancer patient which he wrote in a big notebook without demanding for a physical examination of the patient to know the extent of the cancerous tumour or a laboratory test result to confirm the reporter’s story.

“My aunt had been on herbal remedies, which consists of garlic and beetroot, but it didn’t improve her condition,” The ICIR reporter said to get more information from him.

“Well, we don’t give garlic, we give refined herbs,” Timothy said pulling out a container containing capsules of the herbs before handing out some to the reporter.

Timothy was eager to discuss the cost of his herbal remedies rather than seeking information about the medical history of the cancer patient he claimed he would cure.

“I am certain she will get cured only if she follows the instruction. We charge ₦60, 000 per month for the drugs because the treatment will take four months which is a total of ₦240, 000 but if you’re paying cash for the whole four months we will give a discount of ₦10,000,” he said.
