Court lifts ban on Abalaka’s HIV vaccines

November 14, 2014 by nan 20 Comments


The Federal High Court in Makurdi on Friday lifted NAFDAC’s ban on the use of Dr Jeremiah Abalaka’s patented vaccines for the treatment of HIV.


The court, presided over by Justice Binta Nyako, also restrained the Federal Government and NAFDAC from further interfering with the use of the vaccines.

Abalaka, an Abuja based medical practitioner, had challenged NAFDAC for banning him from using the vaccines he discovered in 1999 for the treatment and prevention of HIV.

Joined in the suit were the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Attorney General of the Federation.

Testifying before the court, Abalaka, who also called three witnesses, said he discovered a recipe to turn the virus in the infected blood of HIV infected person into both preventive and curative vaccines.

He said he applied for the patent of the discovery and was granted on July 22, 1999.

“I wrote to health institutions and authorities in Nigeria to draw their attention to the discovery to collaborate with me to test and confirm the breakthrough.

“This was in order to bring succour to sufferers of HIV but the letters were ignored.”

Abalaka said the National Institute for Pharmaceutical Research and Development took him up on the discovery and confirmed the potency of the drugs.

“This was done through a report on Feb 28, 2000, but the Federal Government discontinued further collaboration with me and the institute.”

He disclosed that various agencies of federal government, including its hospitals, had purchased the vaccines from him and applied them on their own patients who had HIV and many were cured.

“When the FG discovered that the vaccines were potent, it sent agents to me with the sum of N10million for the breakthrough to be announced in Atlanta Georgia, USA, but I refused,” Abalaka had alleged.

Abalaka said his vaccines were then banned from being used for the treatment of HIV epidemic in Nigeria by NAFDAC.

why shud they even ban it in the first place
I guess people were making serious money out of research grants, anti retroviral drugs and govt subsidies on those drugs. Abalaka's vaccine was going to pour sand in their garri

I don't understand why we don't have believe in our potential. We only believe in vaccines that are from the white people. Instead of making thorough investigation, we will quickly condem.

Africans don't believe in them self's or what they produce they only believe what the white produce even though it is fake they would still prefer it over the original some one in their country would produce. Smh.

Good news.
But why are people so wicked to frustrate such a development.
Many good things can come out of Nigeria, but some greedy people won't let it unless they have a piece of the action.
SMH.

Even as NBC ban kerewa, people still dey flex the song anyhow. I really doubt the efficacy of the vaccines because good products are not constrained by ambiguous bans.

Am not surprised to hear this at all because many will go hungr if HIV/AIDS gets a cure so they are probably working hand in hand with FG to frustrate this man
But God pass them all
