By PHC Telegraph
NAFDAC says it has taken over the premises of a pharmacy in Abuja’s Central District which has been reportedly selling expired and unregistered drugs to members of the public.
The pharmacy which is located along Onitsha Crescent in Area 11, Garki, was sealed following a tip-off from a concerned citizen.
NAFDAC disclosed in a statement on X that its “enforcement team uncovered several expired items worth over seven million naira, including expired “H-Pylori” test kits, which posed significant risks to public health.
“Despite attempts by the pharmacy staff to obstruct the operation, the enforcement team successfully confiscated the expired products and secured the premises.”
According to the organisation, the Managing Director and Superintendent Pharmacist of the pharmacy were picked up for questioning.
The Telegraph understands that stringent sanctions which will act as deterrent to unethical practices are to be slammed on the outlet by NAFDAC.
