The following is a statement sent to me from GlaxoSmithKline Nigeria PLC with regard to recent reports in the Nigerian press that three of its employees have had a ten count criminal charge (number FHC/L/478C/15) filed before a Federal high court in Lagos by the Police Legal Officer from Force Criminal Investigation Department, Force Headquarters, Abuja.
