So today, FCCPC Prosecutes H-Medix, Faxx Stores, Ebeano Supermarket & Bakan Gizo Pharmacy over alleged price gouging.
At 1st sitting today at FHC, relevant argument on jurisdiction resolved & FHC proceeding with case against defendants. Further hearing adjourned to 25/6/20.
Babatunde Irukera, CEO, FCCPC & prosecuting counsel explained charges were vital to deter outrageously increasing gouging.
The DG said “Consequence is strongest modifier of behavior. This itself is a statement & step that it’s not fine, you won’t be fine, & you may be fined. Regardless of how this ends, consumers & providers now know we are not helpless & there’s possible reckoning. Other sectors will get it too.”
