NAFDAC Arrests Unlicensed Chemical Producer, Seals Illegal Water and Rice Factories in Abuja

NAFDAC has arrested Mr. Ikechukwu Elijah, an unlicensed chemical producer, in the Apo-Waru area of Abuja for manufacturing and distributing hazardous, counterfeit, and unregistered chemicals.

The suspect, who operated an illegal factory in a residential building, was apprehended alongside his younger brother after NAFDAC operatives uncovered counterfeit insecticides, sealing machines, and other equipment at the premises.

In the same operation, NAFDAC sealed MZEE Table Water, an illegal packaged water factory in the Damangaza district, for operating under unhygienic conditions with a fake and expired license. The facility lacked basic requirements such as a certified borehole and water treatment system.

The team also shut down a counterfeit rice operation at a shopping plaza opposite the World Trade Centre, Abuja, where re-bagged popular brands, packaging materials, and sealing machines worth over ₦60 million were seized.

The Director-General of NAFDAC, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, reaffirms the Agency’s commitment to ensuring Nigerians consume only safe food and medicines. She urges the public to avoid unregulated products and report suspicious activities, adding that all suspects will face prosecution.

Okay well this one is not so bad. He can later work with nafdac and sort out the issues.

It wasn't fakes he was dealing in, it was just that his production line was UNLICENSED

this clarification is for all those who will come here to start screaming the usual inanities 😏

I mentioned that there is a need to clean Nigeria of these practices. A late NAFDAC DG did the job with so much passion. Let there be prosecution and jailing with fanfare of people who sell adulterated and fake consumables,
Until then, we will keep developing Lagos and other cities in Nigeria.
