The Kano State Police Command has arrested five people for allegedly distributing and selling unapproved herbal medicine during a medical outreach in the state. Police spokesperson, CSP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, said the group drew a large crowd from the Panshekara community by offering the locally made herbal medicine free of charge while also selling some to members of the public. He said the herbal medicine being distributed had not been approved by the relevant health authorities. Kiyawa warned individuals and organisations against conducting medical outreaches or distributing medicines without the required approvals, saying such activities could endanger public health and safety. He also urged residents to report suspicious medical outreaches or the distribution of unverified medicines to the nearest police station, assuring them that the command would continue to enforce the law against offenders.
