In the Alapere region of Ketu, Lagos, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has discovered a significant illegal operation that involves the sale of fake chemicals, expired food flavors, unlicensed fertilisers, and repackaged pharmaceutical raw materials.
The operation resulted in the arrest of several suspects and the sealing of three warehouses stuffed with dangerous goods, according to the organization’s statement.
Martins Iluyomade, the NAFDAC director of investigation and enforcement, stated to journalists that the raid was a result of reliable information about a large-scale food and chemical counterfeiting network.
Iluyomade referred to the agency’s action as a campaign to protect Nigerians’ health, highlighting that individuals who act as legitimate business owners are engaged in serious public health-related activities.
He claimed that the offence involved the sale and repackaging of expired substances, some of which had been risklessly diverted to be used in food and drug production.
