The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control NAFDAC has uncovered two warehouses at No. 269, Sam Mbakwe Road (formerly Faulk’s Road), Aba, stocked with expired drugs.
A statement from the agency says the warehouses were uncovered during a raid.
It was discovered that suspects had removed some cartons of expired but relabelled drugs before security reinforcements arrived.
The agency says from the warehouse at Umumeje, Umuocheala, Osisioma LGA, 140 tonnes of expired drugs were evacuated, excluding products seized from drug shops at Ariaria International Market.
A total of 178 drug samples collected during the operation will undergo laboratory analysis.
