Ugandan police have arrested a 25-year-old British man and two Ugandans for allegedly taking part in a miracle cure scam.
Sam Little, Samuel Albert and Samula Tadeop were arrested early on Thursday morning in the town of Fort Portal in western Uganda.
They are accused of giving Ugandans a chemical made from Chlorine Dioxide (an industrial bleach) calling it Mineral Miracle Solution and saying it cures diseases like cancer and malaria.
Mr Little has in the past said he is helping Ugandans by offering a cheap cure but there has not been any official comments from the men yet.
The solution has been banned in several countries and is said to cause nausea, vomiting and dangerously low blood pressure.
Police say the three men are suspected of giving the so-called “miracle cure” to people in parts of western Uganda. They are calling for victims to come forward.
