The High Court in Accra, in a ruling dated July 29, 2024, ordered the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) to pay a colossal amount of GH¢94 million to Tobinco Pharmaceuticals Ltd for the unlawful restriction and destruction of drugs belonging to the pharmaceutical company. The court ruled on a suit filed on July 19, 2019, by Tobinco Pharmaceuticals against the FDA. The company accused the agency of abusing its statutory powers when it confiscated and destroyed its drugs between September and December 2013. Tobinco sought damages, and the court, presided over by Her Ladyship Audrey Kocuvie-Tay, ruled in its favour, ordering the FDA to pay the pharmaceutical company GH¢93,905,760.79 for the unlawful destruction of unexpired drugs belonging to Tobinco. An investigative report by The Herald newspaper has found some supposed rots in the Tobinco vs FDA case, pointing to allegations of collusion between the company and the authority for the GH¢94 million judgment debt.
