he National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has sealed a pharmacy in Abuja’s Area 11, Garki, for selling expired and unregistered drugs.
The closure followed a tip-off from a concerned citizen, leading to a raid by NAFDAC officials.
During the operation, expired products worth over seven million naira were discovered, including “H-Pylori” test kits that pose serious health risks. The pharmacy’s Managing Director and Superintendent Pharmacist were arrested for questioning in connection with the illegal sale.
Despite attempts to hinder the operation, NAFDAC officials confiscated the expired items and secured the premises.
The agency has vowed to impose strict sanctions as part of its ongoing effort to combat unethical practices in the pharmaceutical sector.
NAFDAC called on the public to remain vigilant when purchasing regulated products and report any suspicious activities to the authorities.
