It added that the facility has been placed on hold, and all illegal products have been evacuated.

“These counterfeit medicines, estimated at over N300 million, pose severe health risks, including treatment failure, organ damage, and potential carcinogenic effects due to unknown compositions.

“The suspect has been invited for questioning, and investigations are underway,” the statement said

NAFDAC, therefore, urged the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious products and activities to its nearest office.
