At the exercise which was carried out at the Lapite Dump Site, Moniya in Akinyele local government area of Ibadan, NAFDAC Director-General, Prof. Moji Adeyeye, said the counterfeited products were voluntarily handed over to the agency by compliant companies, non-governmental organisations and trade unions.

While giving the breakdown of the seized products, Adeyeye who was represented by NAFDAC’s Director of Investigation and Enforcement, Shabba Mohammed, said several raids were carried out at various locations which led to the seizure of several unregistered and registered pharmaceutical products.
