UNDERCOVER: How Bauchi Health Workers Connive With Drug Vendors To Divert, Sell Medicines Distributed By Government, NGOs

Summary

Bauchi State government and a host of non-governmental organisations have for years been distributing both free and subsidised drugs across its healthcare centres to support the less privileged.

In this report, WikkiTimes Usman Babaji went undercover; tracked and documented how the criminal syndicate consistently connive with vendors to divert and sell the drugs; leaving those in need in excruciating pains and forcing them to dive deeply into their pockets to afford treatment. Many who cannot afford it have perished in the process.
