The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has seized banned, expired, and unregistered products valued at over ₦1.5 billion during a major enforcement operation at the Lagos Trade Fair Market
A post on NAFDAC’s official X handle said the operation was led by the agency’s Director of Investigation and Enforcement, Martins Iluyomade.
It said the raid focused on the cosmetics section of the market, where several warehouses were discovered to be stocked with cosmetics, food items, and other NAFDAC-regulated products that lacked proper registration or date markings.
“Over a trailer load of such products was evacuated, while another trailer containing cosmetics was intercepted,” the agency wrote.
The driver of the second trailer reportedly fled the scene, but the vehicle was secured by NAFDAC personnel on the ground.
