NAFDAC seals Kaduna warehouse stocked with N75million worth of expired products  

The agency shared this development on its official X handle on Tuesday, revealing that the warehouse is located at PP2A Bayajidda Street by Kano Road, New Ogbomosho Road.

NAFDAC explained that the action followed a tip-off from a concerned citizen, prompting an enforcement operation by the agency officials.

“During the raid, workers were caught repackaging expired biscuits into sacks and other expired items, including dairy milk, vegetable oil, soft drinks, and detergents, were also discovered,” the agency reveals.

NAFDAC disclosed that the warehouse’s managing director has been arrested for interrogation.

However, the agency emphasized that strict regulatory sanctions would be imposed upon the conclusion of the investigation as a deterrent to others involved in similar illegal activities.

The agency urged the public to stay vigilant and report suspicious products or activities to the nearest NAFDAC office.

The agency has recently shut down a pharmacy on Onitsha Crescent, Area 11 – Garki, Abuja, for selling expired and unregistered drugs.

Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, Director-General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), had earlier stated that the institutionalization of best practices, safety and quality of regulated products, and monitoring of the supply chain are among the strategic pillars that would help NAFDAC fulfill its mandate to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of food, drugs, and other regulated products in Nigeria.
