The exposé shows workers at Darushifa Rehabilitation Centre brutally beating drug addicts and mentally ill patients. The rehab center was also exposed for using traditional healing medicine in high doses to cure drug addiction, the healers admitted to BBC that overdose could be fatal.
Chipu and Nacada react
Chipukeezy shared an official statement from Nacada saying that the rehabilitation center in Eastleigh was not accredited by the drug enforcement agency.
Chipu later on revealed that Nacada had moved in to close Darushifa Rehabilitation Centre.
“Just to inform you that Darufisha Center in Eastleigh has been closed and the perpetrators arrested. The centre has been operating illegally and I would like to reiterate that we cannot support patients being abused physically or psychologically,” wrote Chipukeezy.
