An Accra High Court, presided over by Her Ladyship, Audrey Kocuvie-Tay, exonerated the Company in a ruling dated July 29, 2024, contrary to claims of wrongdoing by then Chief Executive Officer of the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA), Dr. Stephen Kwabena Opuni.
A statement released by the Corporate Affairs of the pharmaceutical company, said, “Tobinco Pharmaceuticals Limited (TPL) and its Group Chairman, Mr Samuel Amo Tobbin, never imported fake drugs into the country, contrary to claims by former Chief Executive Officer of the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA), Dr. Stephen Kwabena Opuni, a court ruling has declared.”
Between September and December 2013, Dr. Opuni, reported Tobinco Pharmaceuticals Limited and its CEO Mr Samuel Amo Tobbin to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) and caused the latter’s arrest on the premise that the Company had imported fake drugs.
The Opuni-led FDA proceeded to lock warehouses belonging to the Company across the country with the closure of the warehouses leading to a rapid expiration of the Company’s products.
The FDA also banned Bliss GVS Pharma Limited, the then principal business partner of Tobinco Pharmaceuticals Ltd from importing drugs into Ghana and labelled stored drugs as fake, leading to the confiscation of the drugs from customers.
