The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, has sealed a warehouse in the outskirts of Aba, Abia State, where expired foreign drugs and supplements were discovered in large quantities.
The facility, a six-flat building situated in the quiet rural setting of Umummeje, Umuocheala, Osisioma Local Government Area, was found to be packed with expired pharmaceutical products.
Speaking after leading journalists through the premises, NAFDAC’s South East Zonal Coordinator, Mr. Martins Iluyomade, confirmed that packaging on some of the seized items indicated they had recently arrived in Nigeria through Lagos’ Ikeja Airport.
