India has been called “the pharmacy of the world” for its manufacture of high-quality medicines and life-saving vaccines.
But hidden within this high-tech industry, dressed as pharmaceutical executives, are drug dealers whose real business is to supply illegal, addictive, dangerous opioids to countries across West Africa.
BBC Eye Investigations goes undercover to expose some of the people getting rich from Africa’s opioid crisis.

If AI was asked to create a greasy dirtbag, it would have come up with that guy. What a vile human being.
The morailty of the businessmen is zero. Knowing very well that individuals who abuse this product(substance) will ruin their own lives, yet remaining comfortable in your actions and so called, "buisness" this is wicked work, save west Africa god ❤
Please Africa Dont let the drug companies, drug dealers, and ultimately folks that want the land, to do to yall what they did to Ohio, USA. They ravaged our small towns, suburbs, cities, and rural areas. With all the good work Africa has done to become free of the colonization and to become dependent this is the last thing Africa needs. Please citizens of Africa, dont let that demon take over. Its starts small and then before you know it, its taken whole blood lines out. How to help curb and stop this threat? Well, African citizens, if you see something suspicious report it. If you have a family member or friend that you know is on these drugs, report him and have police take them away to detox in jail or rehab. To the African governments, enemies will use that addiction problem to eek their way in with "treatment centers" "treatment programs" which really just fuel the drug trade. Granted there are programs that work but its a long road for the addicts and the communities effected by drug trafficking. The drug trafficking also bring with it a slew of new problems and destructive criminal entities. This is no good. This is yet another way for them to get a hold on Africa right when its healing. Of course they do this crap at this critical time. Where is President Traore'? This can get out of hand real fast. I pray that this gets handled, fast.
Also, to the drug reps in suits selling that crap…."you are pure evil. Pure evil. May TMH God remove "the hands" they are using to pollute the country and enslave the people with addiction and misery.
Get the Patel Cartel 🇮🇳 out of your countries. Deport them back to their countries.
They are worried about bleaching creams, weaves, and wigs. They should be very concerned over the brown, drug polluted tide of India 🇮🇳
How can Africa not see how the drugs are going into Africa a blind man can see
Ah yes, the original sleazy grifter, the North Indian.
"This is a very harmful product in their hands, but nowadays this is a business"😢😢😢
Every young African who consumes these products must listen to this passage. 11:30
Let's call a spade a spade and stop assuming a judge has bad judgement and investigate if there is possibility of Deep rooted corruption in the judiciary
Wow.. this is evil and so sad. I hope our leaders do something about this asap.
Rubbish typical African style. For the western views and grants😂
Not specifically ghana and nigeria sounds like an experiment to me. Seeing what drugs can cause a community to collapse
India?
Can you imagine being an elder in these communities and seeing this what a stark difference from when they were young
Red 😂
So now Indians are targeting to destroy African youth??
African leaders please rise up.
The United States and USAID is flooding countries with opioids 👀👂🏿
Kick those Indians out of your countries 👀👂🏿💪🏿🪖❤️💪🏿✊🏿
Please keep these drugs out of Africa its very dangerous! Its ruining the West..these drugs suck the soul out of you. India should be ashamed!
India should step and do more to stop this crisis, as a Indian am very angry at my govt. Indian govt speaks big about supporting African countries, action speaks louder here. They should take action against such drug companies
Not just west Africa, it's all over the continent.
African leaders who accept bribes to allow UK, USA, RUS, and CHI to introduce addictive drugs into Africa. That's how they get you.
Far-Right, probably.
the 'who'-part is always easy; just follow the money.
the 'why'-part is also pretty easy, as a matter of fact it was stated in the reporting; to undermine the potential growth and development of Africa. the West did the same with alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. it's nothing new under the sun, just the sad reality of history repeating itself.
Tramadol is not a opiate.
this is focused on india vs. africa, what about china, russia, south america and western countries, who supply tons of drugs?
So many people are on drugs here in Nigeria especially in the club scene!!

Tramadol is a huge issue in Sweden as well..same ones Indian red and white pills.
You also have to be aware , it’s not sure it comes from the actual factory from the official site. It can be pressed pills in counterfit packages to fetch more money
This drug coming from india and also scam centre from india too
chino
They should be stupid enough to take it.
Say no to drugs
I think you know WHO
This is the future. The new drugs are more and more addictive, but also the popular opinion about drugs in general is shifting into more liberal. Question of time when junkies will decide to become emancipated and it will be considered a hate crime to protest their presence.
Outstanding reporting. I had forgotten what real journalism looks like.
1:14 to 1:24 India. I knew it.
India wants to be the leader of global south using blackmail, oops, I should say brownmail.
My condolences to the 66 children of Gambia who died because of the Indian cough syrup.
The American CIA is probably behind all this dirt. That's what they do: They cause Wars, social destabilization and political unrest, so the American government and big companies can steal all natural resources.
