Police in Mayuge district of Uganda have arrested a father and daughter for selling fake drugs, which they claimed were vaccines for the coronavirus. New Vision quotes police spokesperson Fred Enanga, as saying Kaire Saidi, a herbalist and his daughter Kaire Amina, are both residents of Wante village, Imayiro sub-county in Mayuge district.
The two are believed to have visited a number of families belonging the Ahmadiyya Muslim sect, telling them they had discovered a vaccine for coronavirus, currently spreading in parts of Asia and Europe.
"The people mostly women and children purchased the said vaccine at a fee that was negotiated between the seller and the buyer. The duo never sold to anyone outside the Muslim sect," said Enanga.
