A Federal High Court in Calabar sentences businesswoman Ezea Isidora Kamchukwube to eight years in prison for operating illegal pharmacies in Calabar. According to reports, the case involves charges linked to violating the Pharmacy Council of Nigeria Act and to impersonation, including the allegation that she posed as a registered pharmacist. The court’s decision is described as addressing conduct that promotes quackery in Nigeria’s pharmaceutical industry.
Both outlets report the same duration of imprisonment and the same location and defendant. One report adds detail that the offenses include operating illegal pharmacies and impersonating a registered pharmacist, while the other emphasizes the violation of the Pharmacy Council of Nigeria Act. The reports do not provide additional information on plea, evidence, or whether the sentence is subject to appeal. The court’s ruling therefore centers on unlawful pharmacy operations and related impersonation allegations in Calabar.
