When the charges was read to them, the suspects pleaded not guilty.

The presiding judge, Justice Simon Amobeda ordered that the defendants be remanded in a Correctional facility and adjourned the case to 14th June, 2024.

Shortly after the adjournment, Director General of NAFDAC, Prof Mojisola Adeyeye, told journalists via zoom that there was no trace of medicine in the formulations when the medicines were tested from the Kaduna Laboratory of agency.

She highlighted that their actions puts the patients in danger of treatment failure and possible death.

“In addition, the products were not registered by NAFDAC, the numbers on the products are fake, and so is the manufacturer’s address on the label.

“The illegal factory, located in Tafa town and Tafa local government, Niger state has been sealed. Their illicit trade was uncovered following information and discrete investigation that led to their arrest,” she stated.

Prof. Adeyeye however restated the agency’s commitment in ridding the society of falsified and substandard products and called on Nigerian to report any suspicious product around them.
