Mr Chuks Ezi, the Proprietor of Chuks Ezi Pharmaceutical Nig.Ltd, has been alleged to have been sexually harassing female clients in his wholesale medicine store in Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State.
However, the Association Of Community Pharmacists of Nigeria, ACPN, in a statement signed by the ACPN National chairman, Dr.Samuel Olu, confirmed after series of investigations, that Mr Chucks is not a pharmacist but an impostor and Dr.Samuel, tagged the despicable act as an assault to the Pharmacy Profession.
Also, the National Chairman of ACPN, have charged all pharmacists across the country to strive to uphold the dignity of the Noble Pharmacy Profession.
The statement said; “It was brought to my attention the assault on our profession on social media by an insidence of
a suppose pharmacist engaging in an act of Sexual Harassment in Oye-Ekiti,Ekiti state.
“I would like to inform all colleagues and the public that as responsible and highly responsive body our prompt investigation reveals that the individual in question (Suppose/said pharmacist) was never and not a pharmacist but a proprietor of a wholesale premises where the illicit acts has been said to had taken place.
A typical example of interlopers and impostors that the Government and the vast majority of the consumers of health in Nigeria continue to promote and patronize as important players in the Pharmaceutical services provision in our land.
“Meanwhile, necessary mechanism has been activated to correct this misinformation on our darling noble Profession as well as to bring the offender to book.
“Let us all continue to strive to uphold the dignity of our dear and Noble Profession of Pharmacy, as men of Honor that we are”.
