The magistrates court in Harare on Friday heard of a desperate scramble to destroy evidence before police swooped on PHD Ministries’ founder Walter Magaya’s office in Harare to seize unlicensed medicines he intended to sell as an HIV cure.
“Just before the search, accused persons destroyed some of the exhibits by flushing the Aguma in the office toilets and burning the containers which were however recovered half-burnt. Several Aguma sachets and other torn sachets were also recovered in an office bin next to the Call Centre office,” according to a document prepared by the Criminal Investigations Department’s Drugs Section submitted in court.
Police raided Magaya’s Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries property on Edinburg Road in Marlbrough suburb and found drug-making machines, packaging machines and what police listed as “prescription preparatory medicines”.
