The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, on Monday, confirmed the arrest of popular Baban Aisha herbal medicine manufacturer, Alhaji Salisu Sani, for operating with an expired licence and running illegal promotion of the company’s products in Kaduna State.
“Following regulatory protocols, we granted listing approval with NAFDAC registration number A7-2590L for the Sacra Herbs oral liquid for management of pile and associated pains. The notification of the registration of the product was granted on September 6, 2018, valid till September 12, 2019.
Adeyeye said the company, however, did not correct the lapses observed, following which the product registration licence was not renewed. Following an outrage on social media over the company’s unethical activities, the agency’s investigation and enforcement team carried out surveillance that led to the sealing of the factory and the arrest of two staff members.
