Robbers yesterday broke into the Central Medical Store of the Osun State Ministry of Health and stole drugs worth millions of naira.
The robbers arrived at the store around 1am. They tied up the two security men on duty and operated for about two and a half hours.
The hoodlums, whose numbers could not be ascertained, forced their way into the store by cutting the padlocks and burglary proof.
The security guards said the robbers took their loot away in a truck at about 3:30am.
Some of the drugs stolen include cartons of anti-biotics, anti-malaria and analgesic drugs like Septrin, M&B, Paracetamol, Artemether/Lumefantrine (by IPCA), Malamox, Amoxilline (Neomox), Maldox and Falcither.
In a statement, the governor’s media aide, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon, said the government would not rule out sabotage.
He said: “We would like to state that this ugly development amounts to a deliberate attempt to sabotage the comprehensive and qualitative health plans of the Governor Rauf Aregbesola administration, which had promised to restore healthy living to citizens of the state.
“The government assures all citizens that it will get to the root of the matter and bring those behind this criminal act to justice.
“The government hereby alerts Nigerians to look out for drugs bearing the inscription ‘Property of the Osun State Government’ in the market.”
The matter has been reported to the police.
