The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has closed a pharmacy on Onitsha Crescent, Area 11 – Garki, Abuja, for selling expired and unregistered medications.
The closure followed a tip-off from a concerned citizen, prompting an enforcement raid. NAFDAC officials discovered expired products worth over seven million naira, including “H-Pylori” test kits, posing significant health risks.
The pharmacy’s Managing Director and Superintendent Pharmacist were arrested for questioning as part of the investigation.
NAFDAC has urged the public to report suspicious activities to their nearest office.
