When will the fake document market in Lagos be closed.

When will the smuggling route in ogun and oyo state be closed.

strangest:
Since 2019, NAFDAC has acted unethically and has not taken steps to collaborate with the union to ensure daily market access or establish an office within the market to regulate drug movement. Instead, they choose to shut down all businesses, including those of genuine drug sellers, unfairly punishing them. We are all fighting against fake drugs, but shutting down legitimate businesses along with counterfeit ones is not the solution. How am I supposed to feed my family if my genuine drug business is forcibly closed? It simply doesn’t make sense.

The problem with you guys is that you can't read, even if you read, you can't comprehend.

People have asked why NAFDAC shut the entire Bridge Head Market? They ask why the agency closed shops that are not involved in selling drugs and why they refused to allow anyone into the market. They also ask why soldiers are involved in the operation.

In 2019 NAFDAC got a tip off that illegal drugs were being wharehoused and sold at the plumbing materials section of the market. They went to the market with policemen to search the specific shops that were suspected of being used to store illegal drugs (they didn't close the market, they went to inspect the specific shops).

The NAFDAC officials and policemen were attacked and mobbed by traders. They had to retreat without carrying out their mission.

However, NAFDAC continued to receive information that illegal drugs were being sold in various parts of the market.

The National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, gave NAFDAC security cover and troops cordoned off the market to ensure that nobody could mob or attack the NAFDAC officials. NAFDAC officials and policemen went into the market and in the presence of the chairman of the plumbing materials section, they found that shops in that section were being used as wharehouses to store illegal drugs.

NAFDAC is currently searching other parts of the market and they have announced that they will allow traders to come into the market in batches, open their shops for NAFDAC to search and then the traders will be allowed back in if nothing illegal is found in the shop.

They will continue to brag that they are all billionaires whereas their modu operandi is to destroy lives through different criminal activities. Why will some people be this heartless cos they want to make money at all cost. I wonder how many lives they have ruined in that region as well as Lagos. NAFDAC should beam more search on them and their fake billionaires. They are lives destroyers disguising as billionaires.

Fake drugs: NAFDAC reopens Onitsha drug market
•Bans ex-market leaders, others
By GEOFFREY ANYANWU, Awka
Tuesday, June 26, 2007 
•Prof. Dora Akunyili

Traders at the Onitsha Bridge Head Market (Onitsha drug market), who were out of business for four months following the closure by National Agency for Food Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), could not hold their joy on Monday as the agency re-opened the market conditionally.

NAFDAC Director-General, Prof. Dora Akunyili, had hardly finished announcing the re-opening of the market, when the traders jumped and shouted at the top of their voices for joy, singing praises of Governor Peter Obi who made it possible.

Onitsha Bridge Head Market was closed on March 6, 2007 over fake and counterfeit drugs. After screening of the market, NAFDAC removed and publicly destroyed 104 truckloads of fake, counterfeit, expired, banned and smuggled drugs worth over N6.5 billion from the market.

The re-opening of the market, Akunyili said became necessary following the commitment of the state governor, Mr. Obi, who she said had, on getting the Supreme Court judgment that reinstated him, called her and pleaded to fulfill every condition that would get the market reopened.
She said: "Your governor, Mr. Peter Obi, a man of his words, has guaranteed that he will ensure that all the conditions are met. This has given us the incentive to reopen the market. Another major reason we are reopening the market is that we are mindful of the suffering of the few genuine traders who have been caught up in the mess caused by criminals in their midst".

The NAFDAC bos, however, gave the agency’s immediate and long terms conditions for the reopening of the market, which include the setting up of an eight-man caretaker committee made up of credible people to oversee the affairs of the market for one year before an election would be held; and a letter of undertaking to be signed by them.

NAFDAC also demanded a commitment by the new caretaker committee to hand over to it the eight members of the board of trustees and eradication committee or former officials of the market union, OPPMDU, who either refused to honour its invitation or absconded half-way during interrogation.

She further said: "Following our interviews, interrogations and other findings, which seriously indicted some people, NAFDAC outright bans the following categories of people from owning any shop or operating inside the Bridge Head Drug Market: all erstwhile members of Alphonsus Onyejiaku-led board of trustees (excluding William Anyaoha) of OPPMDU, all erstwhile members of the Josephat Eli-led eradication committee of OPPMDU, all members of OPPMDU who have held the office of chairman/president or Secretary of OPPMDU since 2002."

Also, Akunyili announced 26 names who she described as kingpins of faking and counterfeiting and owners of shops that are generally responsible for the monumental mess in the market, who she said were also banned from operating in the market, adding: "They are given 48 hours to remove all their belongings from the shops, and thereafter never to transact any business in the drug market again".
On the long term, she said that the market should be walled to provide for only three entrances or outlets for both vehicular and pedestrian movements.

The agency, she further said, demanded the complete redesigning or restraining of the shops, including the possible collapsing of many shops into one to ventilate and make them suitable for the storage of drugs; adding that ultimate solution was for the state to map out a virgin land and build a modern drug mart that would be registered by PCN, supervised by pharmacists and monitored by NAFDAC.
She therefore, directed all the traders to enter their stalls and bring out all expired drugs and voluntarily and immediately hand them over to NAFDAC officials, noting that if any expired drug is found in any shop afterward the owner would be sanctioned.

Also addressing the traders, Governor Obi, who earlier held about three hours closed-door meeting with Akunyili in his office, said he had since resuming duties been on the neck of NAFDAC for the reopening of the market. He thanked the agency for believing in him, promising not to let it down.
He, however, warned that the state government would not hesitate to pull down any market in the state where fake drugs are found and revoke the document of land on which the market is built.

Obi promised to see to the building of the modern drug market, just as he promised to inaugurate the caretaker committee.
One of the traders, Mr. Obi Nwosu, commended the governor for intervening in the matter and getting NAFDAC to reopen the market, noting that the traders suffered a great deal in the four months they were out of business.
He also urged the new caretaker committee to ensure that NAFDAC directives were carried to the letter, so that business in the place would run without hitches.

temitope27:
The market should be close for 2 years for proper cleansing

Overdbar:
I wish the market can be permanently closed and all the traders found guilty assembled in a hall, forced to take what they sell to the public.

Jonjam269:
They're quick to criticize the government, but they're often the ones contributing to the problems. When authorities try to address these issues, they claim they're being targeted because of their ethnicity. These people are WICKED.
