Speaking with newsmen after the exercise, NAFDAC’s Director of Investigation and Enforcement, Shaba Mohammed, said that the agency got ‘credible information’ about the supermarket situated at Azba Mall, 2 Durban Street, Wuse 2, Abuja. According to Mohammed, the intel received indicated that all the items being sold at the supermarket were labelled in Chinese language, a situation which, he said, violated NAFDAC regulations.
Mohammed, also the Chairman, Federal Task Force on Counterfeit, Fake Drugs and Unwholesome Processed Foods with the agency, said upon getting the information, NAFDAC quickly swung into action to find out the situation of things.
He said that the agency would carry out investigation on why the over 90 per cent of the goods in the supermarket were labelled in foreign language and how they got into the country.
The director also said that some of the affected goods had expired and that they were still on the supermarket’s shelves.
The director said that if the supermarket was found culpable of violating NAFDAC regulations, punishable action would be taken against it.
Mohammed also stated that the supermarket might have bypassed NAFDAC in the process of bringing some of the goods into the country. ...CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL ARTICLE➤
