In this five-month-long investigation, Kemi Busari scientifically probes the content of the concoction while questioning regulatory frameworks that allow its supply to thrive.
It is difficult to put a figure to the circulation and consumption of Sacra Herbs but a series of interviews with retailers and users suggest hundreds of thousands of the bottles are sold monthly.We wrote NAFDAC to ask if it approved the ad but the commission failed to respond to our inquiry. Meanwhile, the regulation empowers NAFDAC to initiate legal proceedings and enforce payment of fines or imprisonment upon conviction.
We wrote NAFDAC to provide us copies of the documents submitted for registration but got no response. We presented this evidence to the commission and asked questions about the registration process but, again, got no response.NAFDAC’s connivance or lack of due diligence has for years put the lives of millions of users of Sacra Herbs, arguably the most popular concoction in Abuja, at risk.

● The plasmodium infection-associated loss of Packed Cell Volume was not reversed under both doses of Sacra Herbs tested. That is when the blood levels of the animals began to go down as a result of the actions of the malaria parasite, the herbal medicine did not reverse the trend as expected of a cure.
