A Kado area court Abuja, on Thursday, sentenced two native doctors, Musa Ahmadu (50) and Auwal Idris (40), both of Jahi village, Abuja, to three months imprisonment each for selling fake herbs.

The Judge, Mohammed Wakili, however, gave them an option of N10, 000 fine each.

Earlier, the prosecutor, Joshua Ayanna, told the court that sometime in August, the accused were caught dispensing adulterated native drugs in public spaces to people without any form of authorisation.
