NAFDAC shuts down an illegal herbal product manufacturing facility in Agege, Lagos, after finding herbal items that use a registration number that does not match the product type. The agency says it acted following a report and conducted surveillance before raiding the site. NAFDAC also arrested the company manager for further interrogation and says the public should report suspected illegal manufacturing.
Outlets describe the operation as part of NAFDAC’s wider enforcement against counterfeit or unsafe products. The Punch and other reports focus on the specific issue that herbal bitters were produced using a registration number assigned to a cough syrup. Nigerian Eye adds further detail on surveillance, the specific variants found, the registration number used, and checks against NAFDAC’s NAPAMS portal that link the number to Greentol Cough Syrup, while also noting one executive was absent during the raid.
