nigerian_babies_poisoningYeah we have climbed the hurdle of finally having a Black President but we still have a long way to go. I was pissed when I came across this article today. Why in 2009 is there still a government that continues to operate with impunity when it comes to people of color? Who allowed this incompetent company to ship medicine tainted with engine coolant to Nigerian babies? This is clearly homicide but yet the accused killers are only going to possibly face 15 years in prison or even worse, a fuckin’ $3,500 fine. This some bullshit! Read about it below if you feel like getting pissed about something today.

Nigerian drug regulators have announced they have arrested 12 people in connection with the poisoning of 111 babies with a tainted medicine.

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (Nafdac) said the accused faced 15 years in jail or a $3,500 (£2,441) fine.

Those arrested were from the company that manufactured the drug called “My Pikin” and some of its marketers.

Since November 84 children have died after taking the teething drug.

‘Zealous’

The paracetamol-based syrup, used for treating sore gums, was found to have been contaminated with diethylene glycol, used as an engine coolant.

It caused the babies’ kidneys to fail.

“We will henceforth zealously prosecute people who manufacture dangerous products that hurt or kill Nigerians,” Nafdac head Paul Orhii said.

He said no new cases of illness had been reported by hospitals for more than a month.

All of the deaths recorded occurred in November and December 2008, after the alarm was raised.

More than 5,000 bottles have been taken out of circulation by Nafdac, but it said it is not known how many were made in the tainted batch, or how far the bottles had been distributed.

Authorities have called on private pharmacies to turn over stocks to regulators.

The name My Pikin means “my baby” in Nigerian pidgin.
