The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) in Abuja raided hawkers of unwholesome drugs at the Nyanya/Mararaba axis of Abuja.

Addressing newsmen after the exercise, the team leader of the operation, Mr Umar Suleiman, said the operation followed an earlier surveillance carried out by officers of the enforcement unit of the agency .

Suleiman, who is an Assistant Chief Regulatory Officer, Federal Task Force, Investigation and Enforcement, NAFDAC, said that the operation was also to confirm if Baban Aisha Herbal product were still in the market.

Recall that the agency had few weeks ago raided Baban Aisha production factory along Abuja/Kaduna road for selling unregistered herbal products.
NAFDAC had alleged that Baban Aisha had only registered some of his herbal medicine, using the privilege of the registered ones to sell others which were yet to be registered.

The agency also raided and sealed Al-Nassar Islamic Herbal medicine store, No. 151 Minna Road, Suleja, Niger State.

“Those advertising Baban Aisha products are not permitted for now” he said.

He said that the agency was able to nab five of the hawkers of the unwholesome drugs, where one of them escaped.

“Most of the drugs we seized in the Suleja shop are sex enhancers (Manpower), sex enhancers drug like Night Rocket, Black diamond, double rocket, AK-47 and many more.

“We also seized other herbal preparation medicine such like transformer, maibulala, maibusher.

“At that particular shop alone in Suleja, drug found there worth N35 million, and for the hawkers, we have an estimate of N10 million.

“Some of the drugs in the Suleja shop are even not herbal, with ponographic pictures which are not approved by NAFDAC. You can see that he is selling them in bulk, it’s like the owner of the shop is a dealer.

“We believe that if we tackle the dealer, retailers will not have access to buy from the source, this is why we do our traceability to get the source, we have been able to discover the main supplier in Suleja now,” he said.
