The Consumer Protection Authority (CPA) has referred e-commerce platform Jumia to prosecution for offering unlicensed painkillers after a customer shopping on Jumia lodged a complaint with the CPA, Al Borsa reports. Jumia’s CEO has denied the company is legally responsible for the incident, which he believes is nothing more than a conflict between competing pharmacies, according to Al Borsa, while Al Mal reports that Jumia has removed the pharmacy responsible for importing the medicine from its platform.
