“Our team uncovered a large-scale production and distribution of fake and expired goods, including beverages, carbonated drinks, wines, spirits, and vegetable oils,” said NAFDAC.
Mr Iluyomade said the volume of expired products being re-validated was deeply troubling.
“These products are very injurious to the health of Nigerians, especially the people of the zone,” he said.
NDLEA confiscated a truckload of adulterated products and arrested four suspected traders during a well-coordinated raid.
Mr Iluyomade said a team of officers led by the coordinator of NAFDAC in Anambra stormed two warehouses at the Bridge Head Market and recovered the items.
Mr Iluyomade said they are controlled drugs that should not be found in the open market.
“NAFDAC is now going beyond testing your products only at the production inspection stage.’’
The zonal coordinator urged the SSS to use its grassroots intelligence resources to enhance its surveillance capacity.
He noted that the police remained a crucial partner for NAFDAC to effectively enforce its food and drugs administration and control mandate.
