The Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria has sealed a laboratory that operated for nearly 15 years in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) for “unethical practices.”
The police have also arrested a nurse for conducting tests in a pharmacy.
Inspectors from the council on unscheduled visit to the laboratory in Nyanya area of FCT, found the laboratory had no provisions for safety or proper disposal of waste, no signage and was run by a microbiologist, one Isaac Akinrinola.
The laboratory, one of nearly a dozen inspected has operated in a slum neighbourhood of Nyanya since 2000 and was faulted for sterilising sample bottles in a makeshift box.
The Registrar of the council, Anthony Emeribe, said complete and side laboratories operating in hospitals, apart from private ones, will also come under inspection.
