The Group Chairman of Tobinco Pharmaceuticals Limited (TPL), Elder Dr Samuel Amo Tobbin, has said he is very satisfied with the Accra High Court’s vindication over the allegations of importing fake drugs.

“What happened was that when they calculated, they gave us GHC24 million and an additional 500 and something thousand and 60 something thousand [GH¢24,003,157.20, GH¢511,414.35 for demurrage and GH¢67,300, for bonded warehouse]. This is what the court offered us. This one that the court offered us, we had to work it out 8 years ago. So the 8 years ago interest is what has increased to 90 something [GH¢93,905,760.79],” he explained.

An Accra High Court presided over by Her Ladyship Audrey Kocuvie-Tay on July 29, 2024, cleared Tobinco of all allegations contrary to claims made by Dr Opuni.

The ruling comes after five years of legal battle which commenced on July 19, 2019.

The court ruled that the accusations were baseless and that the Dr. Opuni-led FDA constituted an abuse of power.

The court added it found evidence of coercion in obtaining confession statements from Elder Dr. Tobbin and Mr. Kamath, using documents prepared by the BNI with letterheads taken from  Tobinco’s offices.

This ruling was delivered by Her Ladyship Audrey Kocuvie-Tay on July 29, 2024, contrary to claims made by Dr. Stephen Kwabena Opuni, the former Chief Executive Officer of the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA).

The ruling comes after five years of legal battle which commenced on July 19, 2019.

In a press release, Tobinco Pharmaceuticals said the court found that the accusations were baseless and that the Dr. Opuni-led FDA constituted an abuse of power.

“The court found evidence of coercion in obtaining confession statements from Elder Dr. Tobbin and Mr. Kamath, using documents prepared by the BNI with letterheads taken from Tobinco’s offices.

“The FDA’s prohibition of Tobinco’s products and the ban on Bliss GVS Pharma Limited’s exports to Ghana were ruled unlawful as they lacked proper authorization from the Minister of Health,” portions of the release read.

The release added that, the company and its CEO, it is a positive feeling and they welcome the court’s ruling.
