The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control on Wednesday in Abuja sealed two shops for allegedly selling unapproved products to Nigerians.
“We will get in touch with the owner of the shop on where he is sourcing these products from, but from the label on the products, some of them were allegedly manufactured in Ghana.“What the sellers are saying is that these products usually make them high and some said that the product is used as an aphrodisiac.“After the investigation, these products are going to be destroyed because they have not been registered by us.
He said that it was scary that some of the products have flooded the Nigerian market and that they are fast spreading because the agency conducted a similar operation in Sokoto where some of the products were removed from a shop.“I can tell you that Pyridine which is the chemical that is contained in some of these products can cause cancer, skin irritation and even lead to deathAll rights reserved.
