Fella Makafui arrested for selling illegal drugs
Precious Fella Makafui, an actress and businesswoman, has reportedly been detained for selling unlicensed items to the public.
ISPYGH 247, an investigative documentary filmmaking business, collaborated with the Pharmacy Council Ghana to enable her arrest.
She was detained on Wednesday, May 22, 2024, for illegal operations including the selling of unlicensed pharmaceuticals.
Her offence involves deceptive advertising and the Food and Drug Authority (FDA) transmission of unapproved advertisements.
After a six-month surveillance operation tracking Fella’s social media posts on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, Akwasi Koranteng, the principal investigator, and his team of undercover journalists from ISPYGH 247 discovered proof of her criminal actions.
Following her arrest, 16 different goods, including Fertility Tea (Fibroid And Womb Tea), Butt And Hip Enlargement Syrup, Butt And Hip Enlargement Oil, Booty Cream, Booty Scrub, Hip And Big Butt Tea, and Breast Firming And Enlargement Cream, were seized.
Other goods confiscated from her business in Mempeasem were Vagina Detox Pearls, Male Sexual Vitality Tea, Spice Herbal Infection Mixture, Yoni Wash Gel, Orgasmic Gel, Weight Gain Syrup, Spice Coded Powder, Tiger Herbal Mixture, and Sweet Drip Honey.
According to the investigators’ statement, Fella confirmed that the majority of the medications she sold were not FDA-registered.
She was eventually given bail, pending further inquiry.
This collaborative effort strives to safeguard the public from hazardous and unapproved goods while also assuring compliance with pharmaceutical legislation and maintaining pharmaceutical care standards.
There will be further updates on the case.

Stonebwoy drags Baba Sadiq to court for defamation
Afro-dancehall sensation Livingstone Etse Satekla, also known as Stonebwoy, has sued aspiring politician and entertainment critic Sadiq Abdulai Abu, also known as Baba Sadiq, for comments posted on his X page (previously known as Twitter).
The reigning Ghanaian Artist of the Year filed a petition before the High Court of Justice on May 31, 2024, requesting that Baba Sadiq erase the offending tweets and issue an unconditional apology to Stonebwoy.
Stonebwoy is also requesting that the court give him GHS 3 million in damages for the injury that the tweets have caused to his reputation, claiming that Baba Sadiq behaved intentionally and with purpose to slander Stonebwoy by tweeting things he knew to be untrue.
The lawsuit comes as no surprise to those who are familiar with the circumstances underlying the tweets. Observers on social media were concerned by Stonebwoy’s decision to disregard Sadiq’s unsettling words, which implied that he was a violent female abuser.
The statements went viral and sparked significant debate among fans and the wider public because Stonebwoy has a lengthy history of advocating for women’s rights and has pioneered a number of charity initiatives to benefit women.
The writ demonstrates that the Ghanaian star is determined to safeguard his hard-earned reputation, as he has turned to the judicial system to assert his rights.

During a meeting with several up-and-coming artists, dancehall legend King Shatta Wale made a shocking disclosure that startled Ghanaians.
Shatta, who is now in Navrongo, talked with various artists in his hotel room about his experiences in the profession.
Among other things, he urged them against using illegal narcotics. He reported that after quitting smoking, his life had improved significantly.
Shatta Wale admitted that, despite his love of marijuana, he hasn’t smoked in the previous five months.
This period of abstinence, he claims, has helped him clear his thoughts, focus on his music, and establish his brand.
Shatta warned the artists to completely avoid tramadol and other class-A narcotics since they would have a negative influence on them.
The dancehall king advised the artists to focus entirely on the music and make great decisions for their personal and professional development.
