Actress and entrepreneur, Precious Fella Makafui has been allegedly arrested for selling unregistered products to the public.
Her arrest was facilitated by the investigative documentary filmmaking firm ISPYGH 247, in collaboration with the Pharmacy Council Ghana.
She was arrested for engaging in unlawful activities related to the sale of unregistered drugs.
Her crime also includes false advertising, and the dissemination of unapproved adverts by the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA).
After a six-month surveillance operation monitoring Fella’s social media posts on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, Akwasi Koranteng, the lead investigator, and his team of undercover journalists from ISPYGH 247 gathered evidence of her illegal activities.
Following her arrest, 16 different products including Fertility Tea (Fibroid And Womb Tea), Butt And Hips Enlargement Syrup, Butt And Hip Enlargement Oil, Booty Cream, Booty Scrub, Hip And Big Butt Tea, Breast Firming and Enlargement Cream were seized.
Other products seized from her shop in Mempeasem were Vagina Detox Pearls, Male Sexual Vitality Tea, Spice Herbal Infection Mixture, Yoni Wash Gel, Orgasmic Gel, Weight Gain Syrup, Spice Coded Powder, Tiger Herbal Mixture and Sweet Drip Honey.
In a statement issued, the investigators stated Fella acknowledged that while her products have gained popularity, the lack of FDA registration is a significant error.
She was subsequently granted bail pending further investigation.
This joint operation aims to protect the public from harmful and unapproved products, ensuring adherence to pharmaceutical regulations and upholding standards of pharmaceutical care.
