NAFDAC Seizes N3 Billion Worth Of Fake, Banned Cosmetics During Raid Of Lagos Warehouse
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has uncovered a warehouse containing banned, fake, and unregistered cosmetic products valued at over N3 billion in Lagos State.
The facility, hidden inside an unfinished building at the APT Trade Fair Complex in Ojo Local Government Area, was discovered during routine enforcement operations.
In a statement posted on its X handle on Sunday, NAFDAC described the seizure as one of its largest in recent times. Authorities recovered large quantities of prohibited skin-lightening and medicated soap products known to pose serious health risks.
“Items recovered include 728 cartons of Crusader soap, 718 cartons of E45 soap, and Extract Gold whitening soaps, all of which are banned by the Federal Government,” the agency stated.
The agency also seized assorted perfumes, body oils, and cooking oils, which have been placed on hold for further regulatory assessment. All products have been removed from the premises to prevent circulation in the market.
The warehouse manager has been summoned for questioning as enforcement operations continue. NAFDAC warned that the sale and use of such products endanger public health and urged members of the public to report suspicious activities to the nearest NAFDAC office.
