Police in Mangochi have arrested a 25-year-old woman identified as Mary Julius on allegation that she was selling gentamicin injection as an HIV/AIDS cure through her TikTok page.
Mangochi Police spokesperson Amina Daudi says the suspect has been advertising and offering for sale Gammora injection medicine, claiming that it was the cure for HIV.
“The suspect was selling and administering a dosage of three bottles at a sum of K120, 000.
“A number of HIV patients have been duped by the suspect, which prompted them to report her to the police, leading to her arrest,” says Daudi.
Daudi adds the suspect revealed she was buying the gentamicin injection medication from pharmacies within town, removing the original stickers, and rebranding them with the Gammora labels.
