A court case brought by Nigeria against Pfizer resumes on Tuesday with the United States drug maker saying it answered a call for help to save the lives of African children during a meningitis epidemic. Nigeria alleges Pfizer deceived patients and caused the death of 11 children in 1996 when it performed clinical trials for a new drug.
The Nigerian government is suing the world’s largest drug manufacturer, Pfizer, for £3,5-billion in damages for allegedly carrying out illegal trials of an anti-meningitis drug that killed and disabled children. The children died or suffered serious side effects when the antibiotic, Trovan, was administered in Kano during a meningitis outbreak in 1996.
Nigeria filed new charges against Pfizer on Monday, seeking ,95-billion over the deaths of children who received an unapproved drug during a meningitis epidemic. The suit came after a separate court delayed two cases in which Pfizer is accused by the state of Kano of harming Nigerian children by testing them with the antibiotic Trovan in 1996.
