Azikwe said the destroyed products, including food, drugs, and other regulated items were seized by NAFDAC’s regulatory and enforcement officers, adding that if circulated, those products could have caused harm to countless individuals in the region.

The NAFDAC Director-General encouraged Nigerians to remain vigilant and report suspicious products to the agency with a view to building a safer and healthier nation.
