Katsina State Police arrest a man accused of re-packaging and selling expired powdered milk to members of the public in Funtua local government area. Police say the suspect tampered with the product after it had expired and then sold it despite its condition, raising public health concerns. According to the police statement quoted by both outlets, officers from the Makera Police Division make the arrest after receiving credible information. The police spokesperson, identified as DSP Abubakar Sadiq-Aliyu, says the case is handled by the police following the complaint and subsequent investigation.
Both reports frame the matter as an incident involving expired milk being sold in the market, with allegations that the product was repackaged and made available for purchase. The outlets also point to the risks associated with consuming expired dairy products and note that public health warnings apply when such items are improperly marketed. The reports do not provide further details on charges, court dates, or the suspect’s identity.
