The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has uncovered a massive illegal operation involving the sale of fake chemicals, expired food flavours, unauthorised fertilisers, and repackaged pharmaceutical raw materials in the Alapere area of Ketu, Lagos.
The agency, in a statement, disclosed that the operation led to the arrest of several suspects and the sealing of three warehouses filled with dangerous substances.
NAFDAC Director of Investigation and Enforcement, Martins Iluyomade, told journalists that the raid followed credible intelligence about a criminal network engaged in large-scale food and chemical counterfeiting.
