NAFDAC seals Abuja pharmacy, arrests two over sale of expired drugs
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has shut down a pharmacy on Onitsha Crescent, Area 11 – Garki, Abuja, for selling expired and unregistered drugs.
This was made known in a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday.
The action followed a tip-off from a concerned citizen, prompting an enforcement operation by NAFDAC officials. During the raid, the team discovered expired products valued at over seven million naira, including “H-Pylori” test kits, which pose serious risks to public health.
The pharmacy’s Managing Director and Superintendent Pharmacist were arrested for questioning as part of the investigation.
