An Alumni of UNN Jailed for Seven years.

Clara Onah, who is 35 years old was Wednesday sentenced to seven years in prison  by the Federal
High Court, Lagos, for selling fake drugs.
Onah, from Enugu State, was charged by the National Agency for Food, Drugs, Administration
and Control (NAFDAC) on behalf of the Federal Government.
A graduate of Microbiology of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka and a post-graduate student of
Mass Communication, Onah resides at No 12,
Mosalashi St., Alagbado Lagos.
She was arraigned on February 15 and pleaded
guilty to a five-count charge bordering on
possession and sale of fake drugs, offences
committed on January 26.
The prosecutor Mr. Shamaki Umar had told the
court that the accused sold fake brand of 200 mg of
Amazon Amagyl Metronidazole tablets to members
of the public.
The accused was remanded in prison pending the
review of facts.
Wednesday, Umar reviewed the facts of the case
and presented the laboratory analysis of the
confiscated drugs which showed that they were
fake and contained 20 rather than 200 milligrams
The convict’s counsel Mr. Chinedu Moore in his
allocutus pleaded for leniency and urged the court
to temper justice with mercy. He submitted that
apart from the fact that she was sick, she was also
a first time offender who did not have the intent
to manufacture or sell fake drugs.
